Phyllostachys aurea 'Koi'

This variety has pale yellow stems with a green stripe, enhanced by light shade, but is otherwise similar to  Phyllostachys aurea 'Holochrysa'.

Young culms are initially blue-green, becoming yellow in their second year.

The congested nodes characteristic of this species develop at the base of older culms and can be enhanced by pruning away the lower branches.

Has tolerated - 20C. 

Usually forms a dense, tidy, upright clump of around 13ft. (4.5m) with little tendency to spread.

Foliage tends to be rather pale.

Older plants may benefit from thinning the older canes.

An excellent, well behaved specimen plant or screen, especially where space is limited..

Develops more slowly than Phyllostachys aureosulcata 'Spectabilis' but this may be an advantage where space is resticted.

 Slow to propagate so availability may be limited.
