Fargesia murieliae
Fargesia murieliae is a graceful, clump-forming bamboo prized for dense, upright-to-arching canes and fine green leaves, ideal for creating a refined, non-invasive hedge or privacy screen. Best in sun or light shade and moisture-retentive, fertile soil, it forms a tight clump rather than running, giving reliable cover with a soft, evergreen texture. Expect an ultimate height of approximately 34m with a natural clump width around 2.53m when mature.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
