Jardin Jungle Karlostachys

The garden covers an area of 15 hectares, including both the botanical collection, local vegetation and a small nursery for rare species.

It holds a collection of Sequoia, a bamboo plantation where more than 300 species and cultivars of bamboo coexist: giant plants over 13 meters high, climbing, red, blue, black, striped, checked, speckled, modest clustering forms (caespitose) and many rare: Yushania pauciramificans, Indosasa gigantea (Acidosasa gigantea), Oligostachyum sulcatum, Fargesia KR 6791 (a clustering form growing up to 13 meters).

Then comes the autumn with the orange of the beeches and the blue of the Eucalyptus beside the dark green color of the bambo and the yellow of tulip trees and Kalopanax.

These include beehives, brambles (to preserve mammal inhabitants, such as the hazel dormouse), old decaying trees, ivy populations, bindweed and wild clematis.

A conservation management system is in place not only to protect the local biodiversity, but to introduce and encourage the growth of cultivated plants.
