Fargesia robusta, is one of the more robust growing Fargesia bamboos.
Although variable it is typically upright and tall, withstanding more exposure than many and has a tight, non-invasive clumping habit. It is one of the earliest bamboos to break soil in spring – an event much heralded in bamboo growing circles! – and the persistent white culm sheaths contrast beautifully with the dark green canes to give what is often described as a chequerboard effect.
The form ‘Pingwu’ is slightly shorter than some forms of Fargesia robusta with smaller leaves and a slightly more open habit.
