Borinda macclureana

Borinda macclureana has lush green foliage, similar to B. albocera, B. papyrifera, and B. lushuiensis, but has proven to be more cold hardy than any of these. It produces tall culms, with a colouration varying from purple to grey. These purple branches distinguish it from the other members of this exciting new genus of bamboo.

The new leaves at the top of the new culms can be very large up to 10 inches long by 1.5 inches wide. One of it's most interesting features is it's leaves that are pubescent on the lower surface. It has a clumping, non-invasive rhizome structure.

A number of species were collected from Tibet which currently have collection numbers starting with KR. KR are the initials of Keith Rushforth a plant hunter. There is a comprehensive list of these numbers with the collection sites including details of altitude position and local vegetation.
