Phyllostachys aureosulcata
Common name: Yellow groove
Yellow groove has dark green culms with alternating yellow strips in the sulcus (internodes). Similar to the other “Crookstems” their is an occasional zigzag to the culms, maybe 1 in 10 culms and some slight variegation in leaves. The Yellow Groove doesn’t get the reds in its culms, like most of the rest of the ‘Crookstems” do. It has very strong, upright culms. It is extremely hardy, down to -10° f to-15° f. It sends up its new culms early, by March here in Eugene, Oregon. We have had one of these in a container for many years now and it makes a beautiful container plant. It also makes an excellent hedge or screen and can take windy conditions easily. With the exception of the Northern Midwest states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, North and South Dakota and Nebraska, all of our Yellow Groove and Crookstems will grow most anywhere in the U.S
