Phyllostachys aureosulcata - 'YELLOW GROOVE BAMBOO' Plant introduction number (PI) into the U.S. 55713 Great for Privacy Screening Average mature size 2.0" x 40'
Hardy to -15 F
Aggressive in full sun One of our top picks for very cold areas in need of privacy screening. I have measured this species at 46 feet and 2.6 inches in diameter in climate zone 7. We have customers growing this cold hardy species in parts of Minnesota. The culm (cane) sheaths are pale green with creamy streaks. Auricles and oral setae are present on mid culm. Can be absent on lower and upper portions of the culms. A very upright species at maturity. Less aggressive in cooler climates. Yellow Groove is from Jiangsu and Zhejiang in east China. This species is doing very well in the Missouri Botanical Gardens, Logan, Iowa and Grand Island Nebraska. One of our customers in zone 3b/4a Wisconsin where temperatures have gone to -30 reported his 'yellow groove' dies back in the Winter months. It comes back each Spring 6 to 8 feet tall from a 5 year old planting. Reports back to us this year that it is doing great at the University of Minnesota Arboretum. It averages 10 to 12 feet in height by .75 inch diameter at the Denver Zoo after 12 years and appears that this will be the mature average height at that elevation and climate zone 5. In USDA Climate Zone 7 expect mature size canes to be over 40 feet in height. In USDA Climate Zone 6 expect mature size canes to be 18 feet in height. In USDA Climate Zone 5 expect mature size canes to be 12 to 14 feet in height. In USDA Climate Zone 4 expect mature size canes to be 8 feet in height.

Phyllostachys bambusoides 'SLENDER CROOKSTEM' Somewhat rare and few nurseries offer this timber bamboo. Plant introduction number (PI) into the U.S. 146420 Average mature size 3" x 50' Hardy
to 0 F
Aggressive in full sun Great buy on these large fast growing timber bamboo.
In my groves and the ones I have seen 90% of
the culms ( canes ) are very straight and grow to a large timber size. We
have measured the canes of this species at 3.5 inches in diameter and right
at 60 feet in height. This species is from Guangdong, China and has been
here since 1924. The new shoots are edible and in fact very tasty.
It is a fast growing giant! Rare in cultivation this beauty looks tough.
Very strong appearing with lush dark green foliage. One of the giant bamboo
with canes that are very hard, making very high quality wood.
This bamboo is highly prized for use in construction and crafts. Culm (canes) sheaths are a pretty green/reddish coloration. The sheath auricles and oral setae are very distinct. It has the strongest branches of any Phyllostachys. As with most other species, the maximum size will not be obtained in colder climate zones. I have grown this species for years and had several discussions with the knowledgeable Steve Ray and Adam Turtle thus arriving at the above comments and factors about 'crookstem'. This bamboo is easy to control with just root pruning and has wide culm spacing in loamy soil. Crookstem is rare in most areas of the country. It also has the low limb characteristics on canes under 2 inch in diameter. So as your grove establishes for the first 3 to 5 years you will have thick foliage nearly to the ground. You can see this by clicking on the picture and going to our photo page. I recommend this species for USDA Climate Zones 6 and warmer. In USDA Climate Zone 7 & 8 expect mature size canes to be 50 feet in height. In USDA Climate Zone 6 expect mature size canes to be 12 to 18 feet in height.

Phyllostachys nigra 'BLACK BAMBOO' Plant introduction number (PI) into the U.S. 77257 Sun To Part Shade We have reduced our 3 gallon from $100 to $70
This is a limited offer and will be discontinued
when our inventory reaches a predetermined level. This is one of the top five most sought after bamboo we provide. Plenty of pictures on this beauty. The legendary 'Black' is native to Taiwan and China it can withstand temps. to -4 F. Top and foliage damage occurs in the low teens during dry winds. New canes emerge green and turn ebony black within two years. The culm sheath have wavy blades with prominent oral setae, auricles and ligules. Likes most all planting sites, but should be protected from wind if possible. This is reportable the only species the culm turns true ebony in color. The culms are not as erect as some other species and tend to weep or arch over. Legging up is recommended and I will be happy to discuss this with you. We can provide valuable tips to help make your grove beautiful. Reducing the amount of top foliage helps the culms to be more erect and actually makes the bamboo very attractive. The wood is of high quality and used by many craftsmen. Plant in sheltered sites from winter winds. Mulch new plantings very heavy with 6 to 12 inches. Foliage loss at 0 to -5 degrees F. with complete top kill of canes at around -10 to -15 degrees F. This species is marginal in growth height and diameter in climate zones 9. I recommend this species for USDA Climate Zones 7 and 8. It is being grown successfully in climate zone 6 with moderate top damage during the winter months. In USDA Climate Zone 7 expect mature size canes to be over 30 feet in height. In USDA Climate Zone 6 expect mature size canes to be 16 feet in height. Click on the picture for more

Privacy Screening
Sun to Part Shade This is not a sales gimmick. We sell out of this one and many others. Check for availability and have several different types of bamboo on your list when you call. I love this one not only for its size, but also its ability to grow great in shaded sites with poor soil and watering.

Its new olive green canes turn to a gray color with age. The culm sheath have wavy blades with prominent oral setae, auricles and ligules. Likes most all planting sites.

It has adapted well and reached over 3 inches diameter canes in USDA Climate Zone 6. In zone 6 Cherokee, North Carolina it has reached almost mature sizes in the past 10 years. We personally have documented it doing well in Las Vegas, Nevada and even the Mirage Hotel is growing this beautiful bamboo and is currently ( 2005 ) reaching 1.5 inches in diameter by 24 feet tall.
