Green Screen Bamboo

Fargesia robusta

Green Screen is good choice for a clumping bamboo that can create a narrow screen. Green Screen is the trademark name for a single specimen of Fargesia robusta (type ‘Pingwu’) that was selected originally by Jan Oprins of Bamboo Select in Belgium. He chose this particular plant, based on its exceptional vigor and beauty, to be the subject for tissue culture propagation. Bamboo Select has made thousands of plants with identical genetics to the original favorite which has proven very successful in landscapes all across Europe. Susanne Lucas of Pioneer Plants began a partnership with Bamboo Select allowing this variety of Fargesia robusta to be available in the United States for the first time.
