The culms are golden with contrasting bright green grooves. The green leaves have an occasional yellow stripe. The spectacular part is the rosy red tinting on the young culms and sun exposed old culms. The new shoots emerge with purple sheaths that show yellow internodes as the shoots elongate. Quite showy and tropical looking for such a hardy bamboo. Excellent choice for a screen because it is very erect and has tightly spaced culms all the way to the ground.

Hale is a rare form of Black Bamboo that is said to be hardier and shorter then regular black but we have noticed no difference here at Bamboo World.

Henon is a massive, strong growing timber bamboo here on the West Coast. Although a nigra, the distinctive looking culms are rough to the touch and a whitish green in color when mature. It is the species that Phyllostachys nigra is thought to have originated from. This bamboo is highly recommended for people who wish for a massive, hardy bamboo with good wood quality. Phyllostachy nigra 'Henon' has surprised us with how hardy it has shown to be after withstanding -28C with the windchill almost unscathed here at Bamboo World.

Nuda is one of the most cold hardy bamboos known and is also one of its finest. It is a nice looking bamboo with a dark node and a bright ring of white powder below accentuating the dark green to almost black new canes; add very small, dark leaves and you have an elegant bamboo. The new shoots are fine for eating and very tasty. It makes a superb choice for harsh climates when a tropical looking screen or specimen is desired. This is one of the bamboos that we recommend to people wishing to experiment with bamboo in extreme environments.

The culms of Phyllostachys vivax 'Aureocaulis' are yellow with several green stripes of various widths running vertically along the canes. Like plain Vivax, this variety of giant hardy timber bamboo is the fastest to reach spectacular sized groves. This bamboo is known to revert to Vivax Huangwhenzhu and Vivax as one of ours has done, so it is possible to end up with three different cultivars from this one. This is one of our favorite bamboos.
