The 3 inch diameter canes that are a solid bright yellow with an occasional green stripe. Makes for a magnificent specimen in large containers or contained areas in the landscape. Otherwise, it forms a grove that serves well as a tall and colorful screen from 30 to 40 feet in height. The culms are most colorful in full sun but the plant will grow in part shade. We suggest 6 hours of direct sunlight for best color. Those of you with clay soils will be happy to know this one thrives in it.

During the first growing season after planting, water as needed to keep soil around the plants moist, but not soggy or wet. When established, most bamboo will tolerate periods of dry weather, however, will appreciate an occasional deep soaking if the leaves begin to curl from drought stress. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eRobert Young is typically a running bamboo, which means it spreads. Our customers in the Northwest say it acts more like a clumping bamboo. Bamboo can be controlled in a small area (a normal city yard) simply by mowing or stepping on the young shoots. New shoots of some bamboo can also be used for culinary purposes and cooked, much like asparagus. Keep in mind that running bamboo only puts up new shoots for a short time each year and, when they are \"shooting,\" the new plants are very fragile and easy to destroy.
