Kimmei Vivax

This newest form of vivax is colored like the
Castillon form of bambusoides. Yellow culms with a green sulcus. It is
more vigorous and hardier than Castillon. It is going to be one of the most
sought after forms due to the brilliant contrast between the yellow culms
and the dark green leaves and sulcus, and its hardiness. This form sometimes
has extra green stripes on the culms as seen below, making it even more
spectacular.
