    Will survive occasional temperatures to 15oF. A choice selection with purple and purple-green new shoots, covered at first with a wonderful powdery icing. With its plenitude of arching branches and fine leaves it makes a fine specimen bamboo reaching 18' in happy garden conditions. Keep it mostly in the shade.
