Phyllostachys arcana 'Luteosulcata'
Expected Height: 25 feet
Diameter: 1-2 inches
Hardiness: 0°
F
Recommended for USDA zone 6 through 10
This rare bamboo has zigzag culms that look
different than the more common
"Yellow Groove" . The yellow strip along the sulcus is also brighter. A
small to medium height Phyllostachys with slender, smooth canes. It
is best used as a specimen plant in a visible area where people can
appreciate its unusual curvature. It grows naturally in Jiangsu and
Zhujiang provinces of China, but is adapted to grow in most places within
the United States, from zone 6 through 10. The name "arcana" means
mysterious or hidden features. It is a fitting name for this highly
ornamental bamboo.
