20' height, Sun, 5 degrees F Minimum, Runner.

Hotei chiku ginmei.

        David Andrews reports minor leaf damage at 9 degrees F. & culms die to the ground at 3 degrees F. Green culms are marked with bright yellow grooves, makes an unusual bonsai or pot plant if pruned to show the culms.  Attractive & rare, if you like golden Bamboo, you'll love this special kind of golden bamboo.

        Hermine - "Sometimes a plant which isn't hard to grow or particularly expensive is overlooked.  If this plant cost big bucks, a lot more people would be crazy about it & cherish it in Ming Pottery Containers.  It is a real beauty."

        We have successfully forced nice green tufts of foliage from single node cuttings in spring & then transplanted them in masses into large pots whereupon they all died.
