Description

Also known as “Japanese Temple Bamboo.” Fastuosa means “tall and stately,” and it lives up to its name. The species makes an excellent dense screen 20 to 25′ tall with branches and leaves growing closely up the whole length of the culm. It has a straight, vertical growth habit suitable for visual screens in narrow places. Foliage is dark green. The culms are dark green, developing bronze, orange and burgundy tones when exposed to sunlight. It is a moderate runner, hardy to -10 degrees, in full to part sun.
