Phyllostachys aurea flavenscens-inversa Aggressive in full sun Get this one and you will have something different. A collector species and supplies are limited. This one is often over looked by many gardeners. Even standing alone as a specimen or container planting it is beautiful. The emerald green canes have bright lemon yellow stripe within the sulcus grooves. The auricles and oral setae are absent from the sheaths. The culm nodes are compacted giving this species a great look on larger culms with its colored internodes. I recommend this species for USDA Climate Zones 6 and warmer. Click on the

Phyllostachys nigra 'Bory' 'LEOPARD
or SNAKESKIN BAMBOO'
Plant introduction number (PI) into the U.S. 77258 Sun to Part Shade Rare collector's bamboo
From
China this species is a larger relative of 'Black' with
canes
that develop spots of blackish/brown coloration. The canes never turn
completely
solid black, but have a spotted 'snakeskin' appearance. This is one of
a kind bamboo. The dark spots usually appear in the second year age of
new culms (canes). It is as fast growing as the mother form Henon
'giant
gray'. I recommend this species for USDA Climate Zones 6 and warmer. Click on the

Phyllostachys nigra 'Megurochiku' 'BLACK STRIPE' Sun to Part Shade Beautiful collector rare species with its black stripe on gray/ green canes. I have two plantings of this species and I believe the site with more sun light is going to have the best striping characteristics. The culm sheath have wavy blades with prominent oral setae, auricles and ligules. Likes most all planting sites, but I would recommend full sun. The wood is of high quality and used by many craftsmen. I recommend this species for USDA Climate Zones 6 and warmer. Click on the picture for more info or larger image. 2 gallon

Phyllostachys vivax 'Aureocaulis' 'GREEN STRIPE VIVAX ' VERY RARE Sun to Part Shade
A rare collector species
and has not been in the U.S. long. Therefore, not many
groves
have been established long enough to furnish nice divisions.
Careful on
your source with this one. This giant vivax has
giant bright yellow canes, with occasional dark green stripes. The oral
setae and auricles are absent from the culm sheaths. There is also
white
pin striping on many of the green leaves. As always with giant timber
species,
it is difficult to produce small 2 and 3 gallon sizes. That is why
availability
is very limited. I recommend this species for USDA Climate Zones 6 and warmer. Click on the
picture for more
info or larger image. 2 gallon

Indocalamus sp. -
'SOLIDUS'
Low Privacy Screening
Average mature
size . 5 "
x
8 ' Hardy to -5
F
This rare bamboo has the
distinct
characteristic of having solid canes. The
dark
green leaves can be up to 10 inches in length. My groves are at 4
feet in height, but I do expect one site to reach 8 to 10 feet
tall.
In our climate zone this species will grow to over 10 feet with 4
or more hours of direct sun light. It has very lush foliage providing
complete
privacy from one foot to 8 feet off the ground. I recommend this species for USDA Climate Zones 6 and warmer.

taller. Much more cold hardy and very rare.

than 10 growers

container went
for over $300 five years ago at the National ABS meeting. I recommend this
species for USDA Climate Zones 6 and
warmer. 3 gallon - $100

Pleioblastus simonii
variegatus
Sun to Part Shade
This very rare bamboo grows
like the typical form of simonii, but has a very unusual leaf
coloration.
Some of the leaves are variegated
with a white
stripe and some are
solid
green. This characteristic can often be seen on the same branch
with
some
variegated and some not. This species is not wide spread and is sought
by many bamboo enthusiast. I recommend this species for USDA Climate Zones 6 and warmer.
