Phyllostachys aurea is a tall, vigorously spreading bamboo with small green leaves on stiff, erect, yellow-green, polished stems that grow 3.5 inches or smaller in diameter. Golden Bamboo, also known as Fish-Pole Bamboo, makes a beautiful, elegant screen or hedge. Best to contain roots due to the running nature of this bamboo.
How big does Golden Bamboo grow?
It typically grows 10 to 20 feet tall in gardens, though in perfect conditions it can reach 30 feet. The slender golden-yellow canes form dense clumps of upright, leafy shoots.
What kind of light and soil does it prefer?
Full sun to partial shade is ideal. It grows best in rich, well-drained soil but adapts to most soil types, as long as there’s consistent moisture.
How fast does it grow?
Very fast. It’s a vigorous running bamboo that spreads aggressively through underground rhizomes unless contained. Root barriers or planters are strongly recommended.
Does it need pruning or special care?
Minimal care, just remove old or weak canes each year to maintain shape and vigor. Thinning the clump helps highlight those beautiful golden culms.
