Description
Semiarundinaria fastuosa var. viridis is a remarkable Bamboo with exceptional qualities, ideal in size for tall hedges, privacy screens, and windbreaks. It is non-invasive and extremely hardy, and beautifully decorative with its compact columnar habit, green canes, and dense foliage. Its aesthetics, architectural design, and the rustling of the wind through its leaves will transport your garden to the Land of the Rising Sun!
Belonging to the Poaceae/Grass family, Semiarundinaria fastuosa is a majestic clump-forming Japanese bamboo, with an extraordinarily vertical and compact columnar habit, and rapid and vigorous growth. The Viridis cultivar distinguishes itself from the species with greener vegetation and slightly smaller size. This tall bamboo, forming narrow columns 2m (7ft) wide, presents very straight and perfectly cylindrical, dark green canes measuring 4cm (2in) in diameter. These large canes rise up to 5-6m (16-20ft) and bear short branches along their entire length. Its evergreen, dense, and flexible foliage is composed of large lanceolate, shiny green leaves, measuring approximately 10cm (4in). The sheaths of the canes are pearly purple and semi-persistent. They remain attached to the canes for 3 months before falling off, creating a beautiful contrast between the colours of the sheath, the canes, and the leaves. In Japan, the straight and cylindrical canes of this bamboo are used to make flutes. The young shoots of this bamboo are edible.
This wind-resistant giant Bamboo, with its compact columnar habit, dense evergreen foliage and green canes, is ideal for creating tall hedges, or a magnificent green screen to hide a neighbour's view or form a windbreak. For a hedge planting, it is advisable to maintain a planting distance of 1m (3ft) to 1.50m (5ft) between each bamboo. This noble Bamboo can also be planted in the garden as a solitary clump, alongside other bamboo or large trees, such as a Caramel Tree, Flowering Dogwood, Chinese Fan Palm, or Tree Fern. It can be associated with other Asian plants, such as Japanese Grasses or Mountain Laurels. All of these uses will create highly exotic and artistic scenes.

Planting and care
Semiarundinaria fastuosa var. viridis is an easy-to-grow bamboo, sturdy, wind-resistant, and with excellent hardiness, tolerating temperatures down to -22°C (1°F). It is undemanding in terms of soil quality but dislikes excess limestone and water. Ordinary, neutral to acidic soil will suit it, however, a deep, humus-rich, and moist soil will be beneficial. Not liking excess water and overly wet soils, the soil must be well-draining. This bamboo thrives in partial shade as well as in sunlight. It is best to plant this Bamboo in late summer or autumn to ensure optimal rooting and development. During planting, it is recommended to install a rhizome barrier to limit its spread. Once well-established, this bamboo tolerates drought quite well. Propagation is done by rootstock cutting or clump division. The only maintenance required is to remove dried canes between April and September. An organic fertilizer can be applied at the base of the Bamboo in spring.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
