Phyllostachys aurea ‘Golden bamboo’
Common name: Golden bamboo, fish pole bamboo, Hoteichiku.
Golden Bamboo is probably the most common of all bamboo. It makes a great screen, as it is a rigid and upright grower. It tends to branch out at very low levels, making a dense, full screen that is great for privacy hedges. It is very hardy as it is cold, heat, and drought tolerant.The culms on Golden bamboo come out green, as in this picture. However, with age and sun, the culms fade to yellow. The lower internodes on mature Golden bamboo tend to become distorted and compact with age. Golden can tend to run rapidly in hot climates, it is better suited as a contained plant. Either with an in ground barrier or in an Asian pot.
