Fargesia robusta ‘Pingwu’ – Clumping Bamboo

Fargesia robusta ‘Pingwu’ is an elegant, evergreen bamboo with a strongly upright habit, ideal for providing year-round structure and screening. Its slender green canes emerge with reddish tones and attractive pale sheaths, contrasting beautifully with the narrow, glossy green leaves. Unlike running bamboos, ‘Pingwu’ forms dense, gradually expanding clumps without invasive underground runners.
