Plant Biography
The ‘Spectabilis’ cultivar is the hardiest bamboo with a yellow-green striped pattern. The culms of this cultivar take on a bright yellow colour at sheath fall, the time when the new shoots reach their full height in late spring, and are lined with solid green grooves (sulcus). When grown in full-sun the highlight tinge Spectabilis acquires appears in a streaking reddish colour.
Native to East China, the name aureosulcata is derived from Latin meaning ‘golden’ and sulcus meaning ‘furrow’. This species is upright growing, with narrow stature, perfect for use as a tall screen in the garden.
Expert Tip
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.
Received 18l pot bursting with canes, around 2m tall. As I bit of a bamboo obsessive, I have a vast collection and have used many companies – palm centre bamboo is always the fullest, most healthy I have received. If you want something that establishes fast and gives instant wow – look no further
Andy maughan –
Nice looking plant, as described. Delivery system impeccable.
STephen Richards (verified owner) –
Allthough my order was not the largest, Robert and James were very accommodating by packaging the bamboo in such a way to avoid any surcharge for delivery.
The quality of the bamboo is only surpassed by the excellent customer service from the Palm Centre and I would not hesitate in ordering from them again.
