Phyllostachys aureosulcata
Also called Yellow Groove Bamboo, Stake And Forage Bamboo
Yellow grove bamboo is a running bamboo with dark green canes that have a yellow groove, widely grown as an ornamental. Give it space or a root barrier, since it spreads by rhizomes.
Phyllostachys aureosulcata, the yellow groove bamboo, is a species of bamboo in the family Poaceae. It is native to the Zhejiang Province of China. It is a running bamboo with a distinctive yellow stripe in the culm groove (or sulcus) that is often grown as an ornamental.
This bamboo grows in areas ranging from subtropical to warm temperate and tolerates low winter temperatures better than most bamboos, being one of the hardiest bamboos in the genus Phyllostachys. Outside its natural range and areas where the coldest month has mean temperatures of below −4 °C (25 °F), the leaves of P. aureosulcata may not be evergreen and may turn beige and fall off.
