Borinda macclureana is another species of clumping bamboos that has thrived in our hot, humid summers. This offering originated from a Keith Rushford collection from 11,000′ elevation in Tibet. We planted our first trial plants of Borinda macclureana in 2007 it’s thrived since. Our plants in full sun for a few hours each day actually look far better than our clump in shade. Borinda macclureana matures at 20′ tall as a slightly arching clump with 10″ long leaves along the top of the purple stems. So far, our seven-year-old clumps are 8′ tall.
