Phyllostachys aureosulcata 'Aureocaulis', 'Yellow Groove' Bamboo

We are currently sold out on this item.

Yellow groove has dark green culms with alternating yellow strips in the sulcus (internodes). Similar to the other “Crookstems” there 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.  All of our Yellow Groove and Crookstems will grow most anywhere in the U.S
