Umbrella Bamboo Hedge Plant Description
Unlike other bamboo species, Umbrella Bamboo is bushy from top to bottom with a flowing or weeping habit which makes it ideal for an evergreen screen with an exotic look. Its stems begin green but gradually turn yellow as they mature. It is similar to 'Green Bamboo hedging' but Fargesia murielae 'Jumbo' will reach twice the height, so it is ideal if you're looking for a tall screening hedge.
For alternatives to Umbrella Bamboo, see the 'also recommended' list below. However, if you still need help to decide which hedge is the right one for you, we'd recommend that you visit our Choosing the Right Species page which has suggestions and alternatives for every situation.
Like all bamboo plants it is very fast growing, achieving at least 60cm a year. Fargesia murielae 'Jumbo' prefers a moist, normal soil and a sunny or slightly shaded site.
For more information on planting distances please see our
planting density advice section.
Fargesia Bamboo is clump forming and should be pruned regularly to prevent it from spreading further than desired. Any spindly or unwanted canes can be cut back to ground level in spring and new shoots should be pruned once they are taller than the rest of the hedge.
