The Bambouseraie de Prafrance (34 hectares, 84 acres) is a private botanical garden specializing in bamboos, located in Générargues, near Anduze, Gard, Languedoc-Roussillon, France. It is open daily in the warmer months; an admission fee is charged. The garden contains one of Europe's oldest bamboo collections, established in 1856 by amateur botanist (1828-1890), who had made his fortune in the spice trade, and who continued to build the collection until he encountered financial problems in 1890. Although the garden subsequently changed ownership several times, it has continued to be a showcase for bamboos, and today contains around 300 bamboo species and cultivars, as well as other plantings of Asiatic shrubs and trees, ''Ginkgo biloba'', Metasequoia, sequoia, ''Trachycarpus fortunei'', a replica of a Laos, Laotian village, and some 5 km of water canals.

Fargesia Murielae
''Fargesia murielae'', the umbrella bamboo, is a species of flowering plant in the family Poaceae. It is a large, clump-forming evergreen bamboo, closely resembling '' Fargesia nitida'' in the same genus, but with yellow canes. Description Considered one of the most beautiful bamboos in cultivation, ''Fargesia murielae'' is native to the mountains of central China, introduced by Ernest Henry Wilson in 1913 and named after his daughter. Its common name "umbrella bamboo" describes the graceful weeping habit of this plant. It grows at elevations of . It usually grows up to , with a diameter of about 0.5 inch, and is hardy to . Its USDA plant hardiness zone is 5 through 9 which is not desirable in climates with high heat and humidity such as southeastern states. The leaves are longer than they are wide, have pointed ends, and are arranged singly along the leaf stem. It quickly forms a dense clump of closely spaced canes that are hard to see under a mass of foliage. The new shoots ar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bambusa Multiplex "Elegans"
''Bambusa'' is a large genus of clumping bamboos. Most species of ''Bambusa'' are rather large, with numerous branches emerging from the nodes, and one or two much larger than the rest. The branches can be as long as 11 m (35 ft). They are native to Southeast Asia, South Asia, China, Taiwan, the Himalayas, New Guinea, Melanesia, and the Northern Territory of Australia. They are also reportedly naturalized in other regions, e.g. Africa, Americas, and various oceanic islands.

Shibataea Kumasaca
''Shibataea'' is a genus of Chinese bamboos in the grass family. They are unique shorter bamboos with dark green leaves. This genus is more closely related to the genus ''Phyllostachys'' than other small bamboos. Excellent as tall groundcover or short hedges, they are especially suited to climates similar to the Pacific Northwest since they dislike dry climates. They not do well with alkaline or water-logged soil. They need acidic conditions to prevent leaf burn. They are sometimes called ruscus-leaved bamboo, as the shape of the leaves resembles that of the genus ''Ruscus''. These bamboos are very resistant to bamboo mites. They are used to make canes. ;Species # '' Shibataea chiangshanensis'' T.H.Wen - Zhejiang # '' Shibataea chinensis'' Nakai - Anhui, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Zhejiang # '' Shibataea hispida'' McClure - Anhui, Zhejiang # '' Shibataea kumasasa'' (Zoll. ex Steud.)

Pleioblastus Viridistriatuss "Vagans"
''Pleioblastus'' is an East Asian genus of monopodial bamboos in the grass family Poaceae. They are native to China and Japan, and naturalized in scattered places in Korea, Europe, New Zealand, and the Western Hemisphere. The plant spreads by vigorous underground rhizomes which run along just beneath the soil surface, producing plantlets at the nodes. These can be used to propagate new plants, but if not removed they can become invasive. The species '' Pleioblastus variegatus'' (green and cream stripes), and ''P. viridistriatus'' (green and yellow stripes) have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit. Genetic research suggests that this genus may properly be part of the genus ''Arundinaria''. ;Species ;formerly included see '' Acidosasa Ampelocalamus Chimonocalamus Drepanostachyum Oligostachyum Pseudosasa Sasaella Sinobambusa Yushania ''Yushania'' is a genus of bamboo in the grass family.
