Bamboo Fargesia Rufa Large 12 litre 100/120cm Extra Bushy: Top Quality: Rufa is one of the first shooting Bamboo of the year this coupled with its vigorous growth rate, giving numerous new culms annually make it an ideal choice for a growing Bamboo, it is one of the lower growing varieties, only reaching an absolute maximum of 3 metres, which although is 10 feet this is relatively short in terms of Bamboo. Ideal for planting in a wide range of conditions but preferably somewhere away from hot midday sun in warmer areas of the UK.

Being a clumping Fargesia Bamboo there is no need to plant using a root barrier to restrict growth.

Plant in any free draining soil damp soil preferably out of hot midday sun (warmer areas of the UK ) and sheltered from strong winds. In early spring feed with a liquid food with a high nitrogen content, this will help promote new growth and give the plant a boost after the dormant period. In summer a slow release fertiliser is preferable. As with most plants, especially Bamboo always ensure the plant has an adequate water supply especially when planted in a container. This Bamboo requires no special treatment or requirements during the winter months.
