Fernleaf

Fernleaf is a graceful clumping bamboo (Bambusa) whose slim green culms carry tufts of small, densely packed leaflets in a feathery, fern-like pattern. A non-invasive clumper typically 9 to 12 feet tall, it makes an elegant low hedge or screen in part shade to full sun. Under vigorous growth it can revert to larger-leaved forms, so it is a little less stable than the dwarf Riviereorum. Its fine texture suits refined garden settings and courtyards.
