Bambusa boniopsis cv.Yellowstripe

Description

Just as the standard B.boniopsis has begun to surge in popularity, this striated version arrives in the USA.
B.boniopsis has proven itself as one of the best options as a hedging/screening bamboo. Small leaves, vigorous growth, and dense branching adds up to a bamboo that can be trimmed and shaped into a well-groomed hedge. This new ‘Yellowstripe’ version adds a bit of extra pizzazz on the lower culms.
It was collected in 2013 from the South China Botanic Garden, Guangzhou, and sent to USDA quarantine. In March/2015 it was released to us and is now growing in our test field.

Will grow to 20′ tall with 1″ diameter culms. Min. temp. 27 deg F. Min USDA zone: 9b.Click here to find zone.
