    A spectacular large bamboo with rich yellow canes and mid-green leaves. The canes have unusual green markings giving the appearance that they have been randomly painted by a mischievous child. To guarantee success grow in a site protected from high winds, where the colourful canes can be seen throughout the year.

  • Garden care: Plant in a large container or surround the roots with a non-perishable barrier that restricts the plant's spread.
