'GREEN STRIPE VIVAX
'

VERY RARE
Average mature size  5" x  70'      Hardy to 0 F  

    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.

Reduced for Sale to $95

Phyllostachy Vivax Aureocaulis

zones and will still reach large diameter
sizes. It puts up new shoots or canes later
than most species allowing it to thrive
in colder areas of our country.
