Phyllostachys aureosulcata growing in Rochester Indiana zone 5b

This bamboo is perhaps the most common bamboo found in the U.S. It features green culms with yellow sulcus.

It's not as wind tolerant as some other species in the genus and the cold hardy reputation has not been true for us. It regularly top-kills here in our zone.
