Description: I'm selling over 600 + kinds of seeds ( and also live plants during the warmer months ) so check my other auctions . You are bidding on 10 SPECTABILIS BAMBOO SEEDS - Phyllostachys Aureosulcata 'Spectabilis'. See my other bamboos listed . This is a beautiful collector species not commonly available. The bright yellow coloration of the canes with the green stripe in the sulcus grooves adds a splash of color and is beautiful. This species can handle -10 degrees temperatures which makes it suitable as an evergreen bamboo for USDA climate zones 6 and warmer. It grows quickly in zones 6, 7, and even tolerates the extreme heat in warmer zones 8 and 9. This bamboo can provide a dense screen in even the most unforgiving climates. In warm climates it grows quickly to 12 and 16 feet in height while remaining very bushy like with plenty of low growing limbs. Maximum Height: 25 to 30 feetDiameter: 2 inchesHardiness: -10º FRecommended USDA zone 5 through 10. Medicinal use : The leaves are used in the treatment of arthritic inflammations. The sheaths of the stem are used in the treatment of nausea and sour stomach. Edible parts : Young shoots - cooked. Very palatable when cooked but acrid raw. Not of the highest quality, but their large size makes them very popular. Extensively eaten in China, they are usually cooked in one change of water. The shoots are harvested in the spring when they are about 8 cm above the ground, cutting them about 5 cm below soil level. The dormant young shoots, harvested in the winter before they emerge above the ground, are especially relished as a delicacy.Other uses : The canes make good water pipes, they are also used for household utensils etc. The short internodes at the lower end of the cane are used as flasks, vases etc. Although the wood is relatively soft, the canes are much used for heavy construction, weaving various types of handicrafts and paper making. The rhizomes are used as walking sticks and umbrella handles. See my store for 600+ seeds , live plants ( during the warmer months ) and over 300+ books on plants and gardening .
