Bamboo Golden - 24" Box

Golden Bamboo is a clumping bamboo species that is native to China and is widely cultivated for its ornamental and practical uses. The plant has bright yellow canes that gradually mature to a more golden-yellow color over time. Its lush green leaves provide an attractive contrast to the vibrant canes.

Golden Bamboo can grow up to 20-30 feet tall with a spread of 10-15 feet. It is well-suited for use as a privacy screen, windbreak, or as a specimen plant in the garden. This bamboo is also ideal for use in Asian-inspired gardens, and its canes can be used in decorative arrangements.

Golden Bamboo prefers well-draining soil and requires full sun to partial shade. It is a relatively low-maintenance plant that requires little pruning beyond the occasional removal of damaged or dead canes. This bamboo is also highly drought-tolerant and can withstand periods of dry weather.

Overall, Phyllostachys aurea, or Golden Bamboo, is an excellent choice for gardeners looking to add a unique, tropical feel to their landscape. Its strikingly attractive canes and year-round ornamental value make it a highly desirable plant for gardeners of all skill levels.
