Description ***Note: Unfortunately, all Phyllostachys aureas are going into a gregarious flowering cycle, which means all cultivars of the species are dying off (until seeds are potentially formed and germinated). We are not currently selling it. NOTE: This is the case worldwide. If any nurseries are selling it, unless they have germinated new seed from flowers and started a new generation, what they are selling will eventually go into flower. A cultivar of PHAJ with light gold culms and occasional thin, vertical green stripes. New shoots come up green and gradually turn light yellow regardless of sun exposure.
