B. multiplex 'Riviereorum'
Our clumping bamboo workhorse, B. multiplex 'Riviereorum' is an amazingly useful bamboo. Our smallest subtype, reaching only 15-20 feet maximum height and ~4-5 feet maximum base diameter, 'Riviereorum' serves many needs.
Smaller, delicate leaves and culms cascade out in a mounding, 'fountain' shape. When incorporated into existing tree lines and plantings, Riviereorum provides unobtrusive evergreen screening, while blending quietly with surrounding native foliage. As our smallest clumping bamboo, 'Riviereorum' can also be easily maintained as a shaped or boxed evergreen hedge. Its delicately textured leaves 'dance' in the slightest breeze, adding a sense of lush coolness to the landscape.
When used to create a living partition, Riviereorum should be planted on 3-4 foot centers. When spaced in this way, the growing clumps will become an impenetrable mass down to the soil level, preventing even small animals from crossing its barrier. |
