Fargesia robusta
Mostly upright (especially when trimmed), ≈16 clump forming bamboo with dark green leaves.
New shoots display distinct rusted tones and white branch sheathes and develop into green canes.
Prefers shade from afternoon sun, but can take full sun in Seattle, WA.
A very popular choice for perimeter screening. Space every 3' to form a dense hedge, or spread them out and allow them to naturally fountain outward. Among the first bamboos of the season to produce new shoots and again in early Fall.
