Semiarundinaria fastuosa
Narihira Bamboo, Temple Bamboo
Young plant received with yellow leaves and some completely dry leaves. A bit disappointed at the moment. Since potting, the bamboo hasn't produced any more yellow leaves. I sincerely hope it will adapt to its new environment and thrive. To be continued...

Description
Semiarundinaria fastuosa is a remarkable Bamboo with exceptional qualities, ideal for creating tall hedges, privacy screens, and windbreaks. Low-maintenance and extremely hardy, it is beautifully decorative, with its compact columnar habit, coloured culms, and beautiful dense foliage. Its aesthetics, its striking appearance, and the rustling of the wind through its foliage will transport your garden to the Land of the Rising Sun!
Belonging to the grass family (Poaceae), the Semiarundinaria fastuosa is a majestic clumping Japanese bamboo, with an extraordinarily vertical and compact columnar habit, and rapid and vigorous growth. This tall bamboo forming narrow 2 m (6.6 ft) wide columns, has very straight and cylindrical bright canes, of a beautiful medium green colour, striated with purple-brown, and measuring 4 to 6 cm (2.4 in) in diameter. They take on beautiful purple hues as they mature, especially in sunny locations, and turn orange in autumn. These culms, like large vegetal organs, rise up to 7 m (23 ft) and bear short branches along their entire length. Its evergreen, dense, and flexible foliage is composed of large shiny green lanceolate leaves, about 10 cm (4 in) long. The culm sheaths are pearly and shiny in colour. They remain attached to the canes for 3 months before falling, creating a beautiful contrast between the colour of the sheath, the colour of the culms, and the colour of the leaves.
This bamboo, with its compact columnar habit, dense evergreen foliage, coloured culms, and wind resistance, is ideal for creating tall hedges, to create a beautiful green screen, hide a view, or form a windbreak. For hedge planting, a planting distance of 1 m (3.3 ft) to 1.50 m (3.3 ft) between each bamboo should be respected. Semiarundinaria fastuosa can also be planted as a standalone clump in the garden, along with other bamboos or large trees, such as Japanese Maples. It can, of course, be planted with Asian plants, such as Azaleas, Rhododendrons, Sacred Bamboos, Camellias. All these uses will create highly exotic and striking scenes.
This giant Bamboo has been awarded the Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society for its exceptional ornamental qualities. The young shoots of this bamboo are edible.

Planting and care
Semiarundinaria fastuosa is an easy-to-grow bamboo, sturdy, wind-resistant, and with excellent hardiness, tolerating temperatures down to -22°C (-7.6° F). It is not very demanding in terms of soil quality, but it dislikes excess limestone and water. A regular, neutral to acidic soil will suit it, however, a deep, humus-rich, and moist soil will be beneficial. Not liking excess water and overly wet soils, the soil must be well-draining. This bamboo thrives in partial shade as well as in full sun, but it is in a sunny position that the colour variations of its canes will be revealed. It is preferable to plant this bamboo in late summer or autumn to ensure optimal rooting and development. When planting, it is advisable to install a rhizome barrier in order to limit its spreading zone. Once well established, this bamboo tolerates drought quite well. Propogation is done by rootstock cutting or clump division. The only maintenance required is to remove dried canes between April and September. An organic fertiliser can be applied at the base of the bamboo in spring.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
