Medium-sized Clumping Non-invasive Bamboo

Superior for quickly establishing a privacy screen (mature height within 3-5 years!)

If you are looking for a medium-sized bamboo plant that has a sturdy upright form and eye-catching coloration, Asian Lemon is a great choice for a variety of applications (e.g. landscape ornamental, privacy screen, dense shade, noise reduction, or wind barrier).

This bamboo has beautiful colors and is very frost tolerant. New shoots have a pink blush with green stripes. Fully-grown culms are bright yellow with striking dark green stripes. The leaves have attractive variegation (occasional white stripes) and low branches that help for privacy screen applications. The contrast of Asian Lemon's dark green leaves and bright yellow culms make this a valuable and highly desirable addition to the landscape. Asian Lemon truly is a stunning ornamental bamboo.

Established canes have thick walls, making this bamboo very strong for its diameter. Once dried, the mature harvested canes become sturdy poles that can have a number of uses.
