The garden bamboo (Fargesia Rufa) is a medium-sized bamboo variety that grows between 60 cm and 3 meters tall and is particularly popular. Due to its good tolerance for pruning, the umbrella bamboo is also an excellent hedge plant. The ideal conditions for bamboo include a humus-rich, sandy, and well-drained soil. Soil improvement with bamboo soil is possible. The soil should not dry out. However, garden bamboo is considered to be particularly robust and low-maintenance.
