Fargesia Robusta Wolong

Description of Bamboo Robusta Wolong

Non-tracing bamboo Pachymorphic rhizomes.

Family: Poacée

French name: Fargesia Robusta Wolong, Fargesia Robust Wolong.

In the middle of summer the stubble matures. With its white sheaths, Fargesia Robusta 'Wolong' is undoubtedly the most amazing plant in the garden. Its leaves are larger than the species 'Fargesia' and it may be similar to 'Red Sheath'. Its colors, associated with a fast growth, a flared port and tight in tuft, as well as a persistent foliage, make it essential to any collection. Whatever the shape chosen, it is very robust and probably tolerates lower temperatures than we think.

Plantation of fargesia robusta Wolong

All Fargesia grow much better in soil rich in humus and rich in nutrients. If soils are poor, sandy and very loamy, soils need to be improved. Mix as follows:

If the earth is clay:

• Keep 33% of the earth in place.
• add 33% peat (preferably blonde) or red sand.
• add 33% good quality potting soil.

If the land is sandy:

• Keep 50% of the earth in place
• Make a contribution of good quality potting soil up to 50%
