Yushania boliana, commonly known as Himalayan Blue Mountain Bamboo, is an evergreen perennial grass native to the understory of temperate forests and mountainous regions of South-Central China. It can achieve heights of 15-45 feet (5-14 meters) with a clumping growth habit, and typically spreads 10-24 feet (3-7.3 meters) wide. This bamboo species features hollow, woody culms that are initially covered in a powdery bloom, giving them a bluish appearance. The foliage consists of long, narrow leaves that persist year-round, contributing to its dense and lush appearance.

Himalayan Blue Mountain Bamboo is valued for its rapid growth and the visual impact of its tall, elegant canes, which can provide a natural screen or windbreak in garden settings. It is suitable for creating a focal point in large gardens or for use in Asian-themed garden designs. This bamboo requires consistently moist, well-drained soil and thrives in part shade, though it can tolerate full sun in cooler climates. While generally low-maintenance, it may require containment measures to prevent unwanted spread.CC BY-SA 4.0
