    Called 'Temple Bamboo' because of its upright nature and thick foliage, which makes it great for planting in temples in Asia. There are generally three branches per node on Semiarundinaria fastuosa. When given enough direct morning sunlight, the canes will turn a burgundy red color, providing the 'Red' part of the common name 'Red Temple.' This is similar to Phyllostachys aureosulcata 'Spectabilis', whose new shoots turn red with sun exposure but only for a limited time. Semiarundinaria fastuosa 'Viridis' is similar to the species in appearance but the canes don't turn red with sun exposure.
