Variety traits
Fargesia murielae (Gamble) T.P.Yi
A morphological trait defined as the vertical distance from the soil surface to the highest point of the arching culms. The species typically ranges from 2.5 to 4 meters, with height depending on the cultivar and the climatic conditions of the cultivation region.
In the reference 3 varieties crop Umbrella bamboo, where this is mentioned in the description.
Measurement of Fargesia murielae height is conducted from the soil level to the natural arc of the drooping culms. Under optimal conditions, the species reaches 3–4 meters; however, in regions with harsh climates, this parameter is often limited to 0.5–2.5 meters. Varietal variability includes dwarf forms, such as 'Bimbo' and 'Lava', which do not exceed 2 meters, and tall forms of the 'Jumbo' group, which reach 4 meters.
This trait is of significant agrotechnical importance, determining the selection of planting sites and design applications. Plant height correlates directly with requirements for root system volume in container cultivation and the need for wind protection. Since new bamboo shoots grow only in height, the annual increase in this parameter serves as an indicator of plant development dynamics until the biological maximum is reached.
