Fargesia Malachite Monkeys (S)

Fargesia Malachite Monkeys is a non-invasive, clump-forming, evergreen bamboo ideal for creating graceful, privacy-giving hedges and screens. It carries slender green leaves on upright canes, forming a dense, elegant barrier that suits both contemporary and natural garden schemes. Best in moisture-retentive but well-drained, fertile soil, it grows well in sun or light shade and is reliably hardy. Expect an eventual height of around 3m with a natural spread of about 2m when grown as a hedge.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
