Phyllostachys
aureosulcata
Common Name: Yellow Groove
Expected Height: 30 feet
Diameter: 2 inches
Hardiness:
-10°
F
Recommended for USDA zone 5 through 10
A hardy bamboo that has a yellow strip on a
dark green culm. This is one of the hardiest bamboos. Although one out of
about 10 culms have
abrupt zig-zags in
the lower
portion, it is
rigidly upright,
which makes it
good to plant
near a walk or
driveway to create an evergreen screen for privacy.
Phyllostachys
aureosulcata usually begins shooting for us here in Portland during the
second week in February. A fast and reliable grower in almost any climate.
This plant has several
colorful cultivars such as
P. aureosulcata
'Spectabilis' and
P. aureosulcata
'Aureocaulis'
