Phyllostachys Aurea

Golden Bamboo is one of the better behaved Phyllostachys, though it still requires root barrier if planted in the ground. It’s a popular choice for those looking for a bamboo with a more subtle colour effect.

Phyllostachys aurea produces olive green canes which mature to a golden yellow, particularly in full sun. The leaves are delicate and pleasantly pale green in colour. It is a pachymorph (thick rhizome) bamboo, that produces sturdy culms which are grooved on alternative sides between the nodes.
