Yellow Grove Bamboo, Phyllostachys aureocaulis, Phyllostachys aureosulcata 'Aureocaulis', Running Bamboo
Extremely cold-hardy, Phyllostachys aureosulcata f. aureocaulis (Yellow Grove Bamboo) is an evergreen bamboo with tall, upright, yellow canes, which may occasionally display a thin green stripe or panel. Rich bright yellow at first, the culms, 2 in. wide (5 cm), ripen to deep golden yellow. Strong sunlight will turn the young culms red temporarily, a lovely effect that disappears after the first season. This bamboo is also known for its zigzag pattern on the lower culms. The long, glossy green leaves, up to 7 in. (18 cm), sometimes display a thin creamy-yellow stripe. Vigorous, this running bamboo has a fairly upright habit, unless grown in shade, where it becomes very lax. Perfect for cold or exposed gardens, it makes an excellent hedge or screen and can be grown in containers. Hardy to -4ºF (-20ºC).
