Borinda Bamboo Genera and Species List

Borinda bamboo are a relatively new collection of species, a list of which is provided below.

Borinda Bamboo Uses and Characteristics

The stunning culms of these species makes them ideal for being used as architectural specimen plants, or for creating privacy using multiple plants spaced to grow into hedging or screens.

Planting in front of dark backgrounds displays the beautiful culms to best effect.

Plant out in the ground or in large containers. If grown in containers they will need additional feed through the growing season and watched so they don't become pot bound in the future.

Borinda Genera Bamboo Hardiness

Take note of individual species hardiness but on the whole they can survive winter temperatures of around -15C. These bamboos originated in the cooler climates of high altitudes.

Culms

Each borinda species will have it's own culm characteristics with most having a culm width of around one inch, 2 to 3cm. Some may have a minimally wider culm under ideal conditions.

Culm heights can achieve between 4.5m - 6m (13-20ft), occasionally higher.

Clumping

The bamboo genus Borinda species grow with a clumping or open clumping habit. These bamboos are not invasive species and therefore are controllable with clumps only spreading to approximately 0.80m to 1.5m (2.6 to 5 feet) over the course of a ten year period.
