It theBESTbamboo available to block out unwanted views, nosey neighbours or unsightly buildings - as it is one of the fastest growing, lowest maintenance screening bamboos, and is very drought tolerant and low maintenance once established.

Gracilis can be trimmed very easily to any height (see second photo of a 2m trimmed Gracilis hedge planted in a 50cm wide garden bed). Gracilis has a lovely classic bamboo look to it, graceful, pretty and uniformly erect - Gracilis literally means slender and graceful in latin.
