Fargesia denudata, commonly known as Clumping Bamboo, is an evergreen perennial herb native to mountainous regions and forest margins in central and western China. It is a non-invasive bamboo species that forms dense clumps and can reach up to 10 feet in height. This bamboo has a graceful, arching habit with slender canes and delicate, feathery leaves that remain green throughout the year. The foliage is particularly dense, making it an excellent choice for privacy screens or as a focal point in a garden setting.

Fargesia denudata is valued for its hardiness and resistance to flowering, which can be a problem with some bamboo species as they may die after blooming. It is also appreciated for its ease of maintenance and ability to thrive in a range of conditions, although it prefers partial shade and well-drained, fertile soil. It is often used in urban gardens, as a hedge or screen, and in Asian-themed landscapes. While it is drought-tolerant once established, regular watering during dry periods will keep it looking its best. It is not prone to many diseases or pests, but in some cases, it can suffer from leaf spot or rust.CC BY-SA 4.0
