"Glowing yellow" is the only way to describe this stately, smaller growing timber bamboo, to 38' in many years. A grove planted where it can be viewed with the morning or evening light filtering through will be a source of joy day after day. The yellow is highlighted by an emerald green groove. Stunning!
