Borinda macclureana Diphylleia really oldBorinda 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.
