*Currently unavailable due to gregarious flowering (may be several years before it is available again)*

*Please note, this is a shade-loving plant that may experience yellowing, leaf burn, stunted growth, or may perish with too much direct sun during the summer. Its sun tolerance will depend on your specific climate and growing conditions.*

This bamboo was collected by Dr. James Waddick in 1989 in Wolong, Sichuan, China at approximately 4,000 feet altitude. This is perhaps our most sought after Borinda.  With gently weeping culms and very small, delicate leaves, B. angustissima provides unique texture to any landscape. The branches have a deep magenta hue. It requires a sheltered area with afternoon shade, in a cool, mild climate in order to thrive.
