I planted this short ‘hedge’ of Fargesia as I wanted a shorter bamboo as a backdrop in this design. My friend, Ian Conner suggested this one, F. ‘Jiuzhaigou’ IV. It was planted from 10 gal pots plunging the crowns several inches below the soil to help stabilize them. These will not only tolerate such treatment, they will actually root from the upright culms. Magnolia laevifolia to the left. This is ‘Jefferson Circle’ a Waterfront Park.
