Bamboo - Aphonse Karr
Bambusa multiplex 'Alphonse Karr'
 

This non-invasive, mid-sized bamboo from southern China will grow to 3 or 4 m in height. Its upright yellow culms are striped with green forming a broad-headed clump. New culms developed in summer and autumn shed their bamboo sheaths revealing a beautiful fresh yellow. Exposure to sunlight subsequently turns the culms a reddish colour. It makes an excellent screen, hedge or container specimen.
