Height: 15? feet,
Diameter: 3/4 inch inch
Hardiness: 15°F
Recommended for USDA zone 8b through 9, not for climates with high heat and
humidity (southeastern states).
This
Borinda
of moderate hardiness,
nujiangensis
has some of the most
slender leaves of any Borinda.
The new shoots have beautiful reddish marbled sheathes. We have had it in the
ground for a little over 3 years. Last winter when we dropped down to 12F, this
plant lost most of its leaves, but the canes appear to still be alive. We are
still learning its size and hardiness. Only
Borinda angustissima has smaller leaves,
but
nujiangensis
has longer, more slender leaves.
