Description
Phyllostachys aurea, also known as golden bamboo, is a moderately spreading species of medium size, widely used around the world. It produces stubble, or canes, which are almost golden green before turning orange with age when the plant is exposed to sunlight. It has a dense evergreen foliage, light green in colour, and can reach a height of 6 m (19.7 ft). Highly resistant to cold, it makes a good screen, planted as evergreen hedges or in the background of flower beds.
Native to China and Japan, this bamboo belongs to the Poaceae family. It is a species that forms dense clumps and has shallow, spreading rootstocks. They produce straight and sturdy canes that can reach 20 m to 30 m (66 ft to 98.4 ft) in its native regions, but rarely more than 6 m to 10 m (19.7 ft to 32.8 ft) elsewhere. It is characterised by stacked and compressed nodes, sometimes visible at the base of certain canes. These internodal protrusions are called "turtle scales". The canes are bright green, then yellow, and turn orange with age. The evergreen leaves are narrow, lanceolate, 17 cm (6.7 in) long, and are densely clustered along the canes.
Phyllostachys aurea is often planted as a single clump, in a grove, or a free-standing hedge. In a contemporary style garden, it pairs well with tall ornamental grasses such as pennisetums, deschampsias, or miscanthus. Its young shoots are edible, and its sturdy canes, which rival the strength of steel, are often used as garden stakes or for constructing pergolas and fences. It also adapts very well to being grown in large containers on a terrace.
Tip: Limit the spread of the spreading rootstocks of this bamboo by installing "anti-rhizome barriers". These are made of resin and are inserted vertically in the ground from the time of planting.

Planting and care
Phyllostachys aurea can be planted in spring or autumn with organic matter. The ideal period is between September and November, when the plant develops its rootstock. Resistant to -18° C (-0.4° F), it grows in rich, deep, firm but well-drained soil. The soil should be moist in summer, but should not be waterlogged. Place in a sunny or lightly shaded position. Mulch the young stump and water generously. Apply nitrogen fertiliser in February-March, then in July-August. Divide old clumps in spring. It loses its leaves as soon as the temperature drops below -8° C (17.6° F), but the very resistant stump allows regrowth. Shelter it from cold and dry winds in winter. Beware of slugs that like young shoots. Limit the proliferation of the spreading rootstock of this bamboo by installing "anti-rhizome barriers" from the planting stage, which are resin plates inserted vertically into the ground.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
