Like
all aurea's, Koi is a drought tolerant and dense bamboo which makes an excellent
thick screen. The culms are yellowish orange with green stripes along the sulcis
groove and some red on sun exposed and new culms. Koi is used to make
umbrella handles and canes because of the odd way that that several short
internodes form near the base of the culms. Like all Phyllostachys aurea
cultivars, it grows well indoors. This is one of our favorite rare and
collectable bamboos.
