Well known for its minimal leaf drop - Taiwan Jade is one of the BEST SELLERS for pools and shared property fences!!
Taking on the Gracilis slender weaver in the medium screening category is the increasingly popular Taiwan Jade or B-Doli.
With vivid green culms/poles and prominent darker green striations on the underside of the leaf, the Taiwan Jade bamboo stands upright keeping its clump tight and a thick green screen to hide those neighbours. The wide dark green leaves give a gorgeous contrast in gardens and have very minimal leaf drop year-round compared with other species.
Young culms/poles are decorative with their white powdery bloom. A spectacular, tightly clumping specimen. Makes an excellent medium height living screen or feature plant.
