Golden Bamboo

Phyllostachys aurea, commonly known as Golden Bamboo.  Appearance: It's an evergreen, suckering bamboo with vibrant green culms (canes) that transition to a golden-yellow hue when exposed to sunlight. Its leaves are golden-green and can reach up to 7 inches (18cm) in length.  Growth and Hardiness: Golden Bamboo is a fast-growing variety, capable of growing over 60cm annually, and can reach heights of 2.5-4 meters. It's a tough and hardy plant, but it thrives best when sheltered from cold, drying winds.  Ideal Growing Conditions: It prefers full sun for at least six to eight hours daily, although some late-afternoon shade can be beneficial in very hot climates. While it can tolerate partial shade, its growth rate will be slower.  €35for 5 foot plants. €15 for small plants.
