Fargesia murielae 'Jiuzhaigou' | Umbrella bamboo

The Fargesia murielae 'Jiuzhaigou', commonly known as umbrella bamboo, is a non-invasive bamboo variety that lends an air of elegance and tranquility to any garden. Renowned for its versatility, it can be planted as a dense hedge or as a solitary feature, offering a quickly obscuring screen that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing. Its hardy nature ensures survival through cold winters, making it a superb choice for creating year-round interest.

Key Features

The Fargesia genus is known for its robust and hardy clumping bamboo species, and 'Jiuzhaigou' is no exception. It offers a fast growth rate of 50-75 cm per year, establishing itself quickly in the garden.
Winter hardiness is a significant feature, with 'Jiuzhaigou' tolerating temperatures as low as -20.6°C to -23.3°C, corresponding to USDA zone 6a. This resilience makes it an ideal candidate for cooler climates.
Unlike some bamboo species, 'Jiuzhaigou' does not flower, instead focusing its energy on producing lush foliage and stems.
The visual density of this bamboo provides a lush backdrop, quickly filling in to create a dense screen that offers privacy and sound absorption.

Tips

While 'Jiuzhaigou' is adaptable to a variety of soil types, ensuring well-drained soil will contribute to the plant's health and growth.
It's paramount to select a planting location that receives partial shade to sun, as 'Jiuzhaigou' thrives best with ample light while tolerating some shade.
To maintain the shape and encourage new growth, an annual pruning is recommended. This will keep the hedge manageable and aesthetically pleasing.

Ideal placement of a Fargesia murielae 'Jiuzhaigou'

For optimal growth, Fargesia murielae 'Jiuzhaigou' flourishes in locations that offer partial shade to full sun. The robust nature of this species, sometimes known as Fargesia red panda, allows it to adapt to a range of soil types, provided they are well-drained. It is recommended to choose a site that shields the plant from harsh winds, which will enhance its visual density and ensure it quickly forms an effective screen. While tolerant of colder temperatures, it thrives best when planted in a sheltered spot that mimics its native mountainous habitat.

How do I plant a Fargesia murielae 'Jiuzhaigou'?

Planting Fargesia murielae 'Jiuzhaigou' requires careful consideration of space due to its growth rate of 50 - 75 cm annually. It thrives in both partial shade and sun and is adaptable to various well-drained soil types. When planting, ensure a sufficient root ball is intact to encourage a strong start. This species, known for its robust winter hardiness, can withstand temperatures down to -20.6°C, aligning with USDA zone 6a. The plant's dense growth habit provides a quick visual screen, ideal for creating hedges or as a solitary feature in the garden.

Pruning a Fargesia murielae 'Jiuzhaigou'

To maintain the vigor and aesthetic appeal of Fargesia murielae 'Jiuzhaigou', annual pruning is recommended, preferably in the spring. With its rapid growth rate, selectively thin out older canes at ground level to encourage fresh growth and enhance light penetration. This also allows the plant to focus its energy on the development of new shoots. The umbrella bamboo is resilient in cold climates, tolerating temperatures down to -20.6°C, placing it comfortably within USDA zone 6a, yet it benefits from pruning to manage its quickly obscuring nature.

Watering a Fargesia murielae 'Jiuzhaigou'

Ensuring that Fargesia murielae 'Jiuzhaigou' receives adequate moisture is crucial for its health and vigor, particularly during its establishment phase. It is recommended to water deeply and less frequently to encourage a strong, deep root system. During prolonged dry spells, it is vital to maintain soil moisture, as this species does not tolerate drought well. Mulching can help retain soil moisture and provide insulation against temperature extremes. In winter, the plant's water requirements decrease, but it is important to prevent the root ball from drying out completely.

Fertilising a Fargesia murielae 'Jiuzhaigou'

To support the vigorous growth rate and maintain the lush greenery of Fargesia 'Jiuzhaigou', it is crucial to provide it with the right nutrients. Fertilising this bamboo species should be done in early spring, just before the growth season begins. A balanced slow-release fertiliser, rich in nitrogen, helps establish a robust root system and encourages dense foliage.

Due to its hardy nature and ability to withstand temperatures down to -20.6°C, ensuring it receives adequate nutrition is especially important to maintain its winter hardiness. Apply fertiliser around the base of the plant, taking care not to disturb the root ball. This will help the species to achieve its yearly growth potential of 50-75 cm and maintain its visual density throughout the seasons.

The characteristics of a Fargesia murielae 'Jiuzhaigou'

The 'Jiuzhaigou' variety, with its vibrant culm colors transitioning from green to red to purple, offers a unique visual appeal throughout the year. This bamboo thrives in both sun and partial shade, making it a versatile choice for gardeners. Its non-invasive root system means it can be grown without the worry of unchecked spreading, making it ideal for residential gardens seeking a touch of elegance without extensive maintenance.
