Bambusa eutuldoides Viridi Vittata

Clumping bamboo that grows to roughly 8-10 m in height, with a 2-3 m round base. It features stunningly vibrant gold and green stripes along the culms and is often regarded as the most ornamental golden bamboo there is. China Gold grows with a very tight, full clump and masses of dense foliage. It looks best cleaned out from the base to show off its fantastic culms and foliage shape. China Gold is a fast growing bamboo, VERY drought hardy once established, and can achieve a privacy screen in under 2 years. Great privacy screening bamboo, and can be maintained in a narrow garden bed simply by placing a root barrier down or cleaning out any unwanted culms. China Gold has very strong, thick walled bamboo poles. The shoots are also edible and great to throw into an Asian style dish.
