Golden Crookstem Bamboo is often regarded as one of the most adaptable and impressive of all golden-caned bamboos. It features glossy light green leaves, with light green and golden streaked culms which emerge beautifully striped, and develop a magenta tint in the right lighting conditions.

The culms of Phyllostachys aureosucata ‘Aureoculis’ are generally very upright in growth, but the lower growth will sometimes appear with striking, strongly zig-zagged internodes.

Plant Biography

Native to East China, aureosulcata is an upright growing species of bamboo with a narrow stature that makes it perfect for use as a tall privacy screen in the garden.

The ‘Aureocaulis’ cultivar is the hardiest golden-caned bamboos. The culms of this cultivar take on a lemon yellow colour at sheath fall, the time when the new shoots reach their full height in late spring.

If positioned in full-sun the golden culms of aureosulcata will become lightly tinged with colour, the hue depending on the cultivar. For Aureocaulis this is a bright magenta tint.

Care & Size Guidance

Care & Size Guidance

Phyllostachys aureosulcata requires little to no maintenance, though if required the plant may be thinned out and spent canes can be cut back to the ground level.

This bamboo produces underground rhizomes which aid its spreading, meaning it requires the installation of root barrier to prevent it from becoming invasive.
A strong clump of golden canes of impressive height which will quickly establish itself in my garden along with bamboos previously supplied.

Two impressive plants, expertly wrapped, and delivered very speedily; thanks very much – I’ll be back for more!

Martin Rogers (verified owner) –

Really pleased with my purchase from the palm centre and will be purchasing from you again! So pleased with the size and health of the plant. It arrived quickly too!
Packaging was great too. I don’t feel it needs so much plastic or more specifically the plastic netting but it did help to keep the plant safe.

Thanks so much!
