Green Groove Bamboo (Phyllostachys aureosulcata ‘Spectabilis’)

Similar to Phyllostachys aureosulcata in most respects, but the culms of this distinctly ornamental bamboo are golden yellow with a green groove, and the leaves are sometimes variegated with white stripes. Green groove bamboo’s combination of strikingly distinctive coloration, size, and cold hardiness places it high on the list of large, showy bamboos suitable for cold climates. Note: sizes over 3′ tall are not always available during the period from January to May, but are usually available at other times. 7′-9′ and larger sizes are not shippable by UPS.
