Variety traits
Plant Height — Umbrella Bamboo
Fargesia murielae (Gamble) T.P.Yi
The height of umbrella bamboo varies from 1 to 5–7 meters depending on the cultivar, with each individual culm reaching its maximum height within a single growing season.
In the reference 3 varieties crop Umbrella bamboo, where this is mentioned in the description.
For the species Fargesia murielae, the typical height range is from 1 to 7 meters, with mature specimens most commonly reaching 3–4 meters. Varietal variation is distinct: dwarf forms, such as ‘Bimbo’ and ‘Lava’, are limited to 1–2 meters, while vigorous cultivars like ‘Dino’ can reach 5 meters.
A biological feature of bamboo is that each new culm reaches its final height within the first two months of the growing season and ceases vertical growth thereafter. With age, the clump increases only in volume and density, making height a key parameter for selecting the plant's use, from container gardening to the formation of hedges.
