Straight from the grower
Straight from the grower
We have been growing our plants with great passion since 1976. We are therefore proud that the third generation is now at the helm of our family business. All plants and trees we supply come either directly from our own nursery or from fellow nurseries that work in partnership with Heijnen. Through our close cooperation with various skilled growers, plant importers and other professionals, we guarantee products that are as fresh and high quality as possible. What this means for you is healthy and beautiful plants and trees straight from the nursery at competitive prices.

Height at time of delivery (cm)

'Height without root ball' refers to the measurement of a plant or tree where the height is measured without taking into account the underlying root ball of roots and soil normally present when the plant is moved. When measuring height without root ball, only the visible part of the plant above ground, such as the trunk/stem, branches and leaves, is taken into account, while the root ball that is normally below ground is excluded from the measurement.

Height at time of delivery (cm)
Width at time of delivery (cm)
Width at time of delivery (cm)

Our plants can be ordered in different sizes. By width on delivery (cm), we mean the approximate width of the plant in centimetres when we deliver it to you.

The number of centimetres indicated refers to the widest part of the plant. It may not be as wide in other places, since it is a natural product and does not have standard dimensions.

Positioning
Positioning

By positioning, we mean the number of hours of sunlight at the spot where the plants are to be placed. There are three categories for this, namely:

  • Sun - more than 4 hours of sun per day
  • Partial shade - up to 4 hours of sun per day
  • Shade - less than 2 hours of sun per day

The type of soil is of minor importance in most cases, unless otherwise stated for the product.

Application
Application

By 'application' we mean how the planting can be used in the garden. In this, we distinguish between the possible applications below:

Border: also called a bed, this is a strip of ground (part of the garden) intended for planting. Due to the construction of paths, terraces and lawn, a garden often consists of multiple borders:

  • Group planting: plants that are at their best when placed together in small or large groups and can be easily combined with other garden plants if desired.
  • Edge planting: mostly low-growing plants that are suitable for use at the edge of borders and so provide a nice progression from low to tall plants.
  • Underplanting: mostly shade-loving plants that can be planted under large shrubs and trees.

Solitary: a plant (usually a larger shrub) that does best when planted alone and not with several of the same variety together. A solitary plant is a real eye-catcher and also provides 'body' to the garden. You place a solitary plant in a border in combination with (relatively) low-growing plants, for example.

Pot: a plant that grows well in a pot.

Planter: plants that are perfect for use in planters.

Hedge: plants that grow particularly tall and branch nicely through pruning. This makes them ideal for use as a natural screen (hedge). We offer hedge plants for both low and tall hedges.

Pergola: plants that are ideal for planting and growing against a pergola.

Fence: plants that can be grown against a fence or placed in front of a fence.

Wall: plants that can be grown against a wall or placed in front of a wall.

Trellis: plants that can be grown in a trellis to create more greenery and privacy in the garden.

Slope: plants that are ideal for planting on a slope.

Buy fargesia nitida (Chinese fountain bamboo)

Discover the elegance and versatility of Fargesia nitida, commonly known as the Chinese fountain bamboo. This non-invasive clumping bamboo is celebrated for its graceful arching form, which resembles a fountain when mature. Adaptable to a range of soil conditions and climates, it is a splendid choice for creating a lush, evergreen hedge or as a solitary specimen that adds an exotic touch to the garden.

Fargesia nitida originates from the mountainous regions of Northern China, thriving under the canopy of tall trees, which makes it well-suited to partially shaded areas in your garden.

Key Features

  • Fargesia offers a quick and natural way to establish privacy with its rapidly obscuring foliage that remains an attractive green year-round.
  • The fountain bamboo is winter hardy, capable of withstanding temperatures as low as -23.3°C (USDA zone 6a), ensuring resilience in a variety of landscapes.
  • A vigorous grower, it can achieve an impressive growth rate of 50-75 cm per year.
  • Its captivating green and purple stems provide a unique visual interest across all seasons.

Tips

  • For optimal growth, plant Fargesia nitida in well-drained soil and a location that receives partial shade to full sun.
  • Although drought-resistant, it is advisable to water this bamboo at regular intervals, especially during extended periods of dry weather.
  • Annual pruning can be beneficial; trim the bamboo to maintain desired size and shape, and to promote thicker growth.
  • Propagate by division in spring or autumn to rejuvenate older clumps and to encourage vigorous new growth. This can also help to prevent the center of the plant from becoming too woody and sparse over time.

Ideal placement of a Fargesia nitida

For optimal growth, >bamboo nitida prefers a location with partial shade, though it can also tolerate full sun if provided with sufficient moisture. The site should offer protection from harsh afternoon rays to maintain the vibrant coloration of its foliage and stems. Well-drained soil is essential to prevent waterlogging, which can be detrimental to the plant's root system. This species demonstrates remarkable winter hardiness, enduring temperatures as low as -20.6°C, corresponding to USDA zone 6a. The versatile nature of this evergreen allows it to adapt to various soil types, provided they are properly drained.

Planting a Fargesia nitida

When planting Fargesia nitida, choose a location with partial shade to sun that accommodates its growth rate of 50 to 75 cm per year. This species thrives in any well-drained soil type. With a root ball system, it's essential to prepare a planting hole twice the width of the root mass and of equal depth. Ensuring the root ball is level with the soil surface promotes proper establishment. After planting, water thoroughly to settle the soil and eliminate air pockets. Mulching can help retain soil moisture and regulate temperature, vital for maintaining the lush, green vibrancy of the foliage throughout the seasons.

Pruning a Fargesia nitida

Pruning Fargesia nitida is minimal, typically requiring attention only once per year to maintain its shape and vigor. The best time for this task is late winter or early spring before new growth begins. During the pruning process, it is advisable to remove any dead or weak canes at the base to encourage fresh, healthy shoots. This species, with its rapid growth rate, quickly regenerates, ensuring a dense and vibrant hedge or solitary display throughout the year, even after pruning.

Watering a Fargesia nitida

The evergreen Fargesia nitida requires consistent moisture to maintain its lush greenery, particularly during its rapid growth phase where it can increase in height by 50 to 75 cm annually. While it is not drought-resistant, overwatering should be avoided by ensuring the soil is well-drained. During the warmer months or in full sun, increase the frequency of watering to compensate for higher evaporation rates. In winter, cautiously reduce watering, but never allow the root ball to completely dry out, especially considering its winter hardiness down to -20.6°C, making it suitable for USDA zone 6a climates.

Fertilising a Fargesia nitida

To ensure the robust growth and lush greenery of bamboo Fargesia nitida, fertilization is key. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer early in the spring to kick-start the growing season. The nutrient boost supports the species' rapid growth rate and helps establish the dense foliage desired in a hedge or solitary display. A second application during the summer can further sustain its development and maintain the vibrant green and purple hues of the stems.

Avoid over-fertilizing, as excessive nutrients can lead to weak growth and diminish the plant's overall hardiness. A careful approach to fertilization, complemented by the species' natural resistance to cold, down to -20.6°C, will contribute to a healthy, evergreen presence in a range of garden settings.

The characteristics of a Fargesia nitida

Fargesia nitida thrives without the invasive traits typical of some bamboo species, making it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking non-spreading clumps. Its elegant arching canes and fine-textured leaves create an alluring aesthetic as a standalone specimen or as a serene privacy screen. Moreover, this species tolerates a range of light conditions, from full sun to partial shade, offering flexibility in garden design and placement.

Separating/dividing a Fargesia nitida

To maintain the health and vigor of Fargesia nitida, division is a vital gardening practice. Ideally carried out in the more temperate conditions of spring or autumn, the process begins with the plant being carefully lifted from the soil. Afterward, gardeners should separate the clump into smaller portions, ensuring each has a sufficient root system. Replanting these sections promptly will rejuvenate growth and ensure the bamboo continues to provide a dense, evergreen screen. This method of propagation not only stimulates new growth but also helps control the size and spread of the plant, suitable for its use as a hedge or solitary feature.

The ideal variety for you Buy fargesia nitida (Chinese fountain bamboo)

Fargesia nitida, with its graceful, non-invasive clumping habit, is the quintessential choice for those seeking an elegant, hardy bamboo. It thrives in partial shade, making it a versatile addition to any garden composition. Its lush foliage and refined stature provide year-round beauty, enhancing the serenity of your outdoor space.
