Phyllostachys vivax 'Huangwenzhu'
Yellow Groove Vivax
It is essentially a "yellow groove" form of vivax--a yellow stripe occurring primarily on the sulcus of the culm. Mature height should be 35 to 45 ft. (possibly much taller) with an expected culm diameter of 3" to 5". Hardiness is listed at -9° F. This is a good clump forming bamboo which is ideal for the larger garden.

Planting Outdoors Spring
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Plant in spring so that the food reserves in the rhizome are used to produce a good flush of fresh canes in summer.
Planting in a container
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
New bamboo plants or divisions can be contained within a physical barrier to prevent them spreading through beds and borders. Ensure that bamboo plants in containers do not dry out in winter, since the foliage is prone to wind scorch. In very cold weather, insulate containers with bubble wrap or move them to frost-free conditions.
