Umbrella Bamboo Campbell

A robust form of non-invasive bamboo, Fargesia robusta Campbell is a tall, vigorous, fast-growing, evergreen bamboo with a dense, upright, clump-forming habit and narrow spread, particularly good for planting as a hedge or screen. The eye-catching culms (canes) emerge bright green, turning olive-green as they mature, and have striking white culm-sheaths which light up the clump. The long, typical bamboo leaves are bright green and lush. Prefers full sun but is also happy in partial shade, and is drought-tolerant once established. Umbrella bamboo Campbell holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
