A cross between two Fargesia nitida cultivars, Fargesia nitida Pillar is a medium-sized, evergreen bamboo which forms a dense clump of upright culms (canes) which arch over only at the tips. The culms emerge green and then turn purple, often so dark a purple as to appear black, a striking contrast to the slender, deep green leaves. Fountain bamboo Pillar is good in a woodland planting. Water well in dry spells. This bamboo will not tolerate coastal exposure.
