Phyllostachys aureosulcata Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Requires a rich damp soil in a sheltered position. One report says that this is a very hardy plant, withstanding temperatures down to about -20°c, whilst another says that it dislikes prolonged exposure to hard frosts[200]. This species is notably resistant to honey fungus[200]. Plants only flower at intervals of many years. When they do come into flower most of the plants energies are directed into producing seed and consequently the plant is severely weakened. They sometimes die after flowering, but if left alone they will usually recover though they will look very poorly for a few years. If fed with artificial NPK fertilizers at this time the plants are more likely to die[122]. This is a good companion species to grow in a woodland because the plants are shallow rooted and do not compete with deep rooted trees[195]. The rootstock is running but only slightly so in the cooler climate of Britain. The bottoms of some culms have large kinks in them, this limits their use for timber etc but makes them more ornamental. For further Phyllostachys aureosulcata gardening information |
