This description covers characteristics that may be relevant to fire ecology and is not meant for identification. Keys for identification are available (e.g., [3,12,39]).
Aboveground description: Golden bamboo is a large, somewhat woody, rhizomatous, perennial grass that produces clumps of single branching stems [12,39,43]. Stems of established clones grow quickly and at maturity can range from 7 to 39 feet (2-12 m) tall. Stem diameters may reach 6 inches (15 cm) but are typically 3.5 inches (9 cm) or less [3,17,33,50,51]. Stems appear jointed because of swollen internodes [36,43]. Branches often occur in pairs [51], and stems and branches are green when plants are young but turn golden yellow with age [13]. Golden bamboo branches produce up to 6 leaves, which are often arranged in fan-like clusters. Leaf blades are narrow, grass-like and generally measure 2 to 6 inches (5-15 cm) long and up to 0.8 inch (2 cm) wide [12,39,44,50].
Flowers and seeds are rarely produced by golden bamboo [8,12], and in much of the United States, flowers have never been observed [17,39]. When produced, flowers occur in spikelets up to 2 inches (2.5 cm) long with 8 to 12 flowers [13,50,51]. Flower production and the fate of flowering plants are discussed more in Seed production.
Belowground description: Golden bamboo produces long, slender, and often hollow rhizomes. Rhizomes are branching, produce true roots, and generally exist entirely below ground. Each internode of the rhizome is capable of producing another rhizome or a new stem. Rhizomes grow horizontally and can support rapid spread [13,28,33,51].
Golden bamboo is not native to North America but is cultivated as far north as Vancouver, British Columbia, in the West and Buffalo, New York, in the East [3,33]. Escaped populations, however, are generally restricted to the southern United States from Texas to Florida and from Arkansas to North Carolina [11,15,24,39,56]. Golden bamboo also occurs outside of cultivation on the islands of Hawaii and Oahu [44]. Populations are also reported in Oregon and 3 California counties, but the extent of escaped cultivars on the West Coast is poorly documented [43,53]. Generally golden bamboo occurs in urban areas near planting sites. In Texas, golden bamboo occurs in the Lower Galveston Bay watershed within urban and residential areas of Houston [28]. In Tennessee, golden bamboo persists in areas where it was cultivated, but as of 1994, no populations had escaped from the cultivated area [11]. Grass Manual on the Web provides a map of golden bamboo's North American distribution.
Golden bamboo may be native to both China and Japan's temperate and subtropical regions [13]. Some reports suggest that golden bamboo is native only to China [3,33,56] but has become common in Japan after hundreds of years of cultivation [50].
Because primary literature and original research on golden bamboo are lacking, this summary has relied heavily on information presented in floras [3,12,39] and other reviews [1,8,13,25,28,33,36,43,44,50,51]. Information presented in these reviews often lacked supporting documentation and details. Additional research on golden bamboo is necessary before the information in this and other reviews can be properly assessed for accuracy and completeness.
Introduction and local spread: Golden bamboo has been widely planted as an ornamental in tropical to temperate areas of the world [13]. In the United States, golden bamboo was first planted in Alabama in 1882 [28,33]. As of 1971, it occurred in Alabama's Covington, Coffee, Henry, Bullock, Tallapoosa, and Chambers counties. Golden bamboo was sometimes planted for its use in making fishing poles. Escaping populations are most common on the Coastal Plain [9]. As of 1968, golden bamboo was reported in South Carolina's Lexington and Spartanburg counties and in North Carolina's Chatham and Mecklenburg counties [39]. In southern forests, a report estimated that nonnative bamboos (Phyllostachys spp.) occupied 71,560 acres (28,960 ha) in 2008 [37].
Although golden bamboo is generally found near planting sites, in some areas there has been extensive spread that has negatively impacted native plant communities. In Texas, golden bamboo has been widely cultivated, and in Grayson and Tarrant counties, extensive stands are spreading on sandy soils [12]. In a study of riparian areas in Georgia, researchers sampled 15 watersheds in the west-central part of the state. Golden bamboo occurred in just 1 urban watershed. Plants were found in a "natural" area adjacent to a city park but away from mowed or high foot traffic areas [32]. Although golden bamboo was not reported in a 1991 survey of Cumberland Island, Georgia, researchers estimated that it occupied an area of 31,440 feet² (2,921 m²) in surveys conducted in 2003 and 2004. Nonnative taxa were of secondary importance in the 1991 survey, which focused on rare native taxa. In 2003 and 2004, golden bamboo did not occur in "natural areas", but researchers noted seedlings or new clones at the periphery of established clumps [23]. In a 1980 survey of southeastern National Park Service officials, golden bamboo was noted in South Carolina's Congaree Swamp National Monument and Cowpens National Battlefield [4]. In Hawaii, golden bamboo was first reported in native plant communities in 1992, although it has been cultivated in the state for a "long time". Researchers found a clone covering 1 acre (0.4 ha) of a steep hillside in Kailua, Oahu, Hawaii. The clone originated from a roadside ornamental planting and forms a near monoculture on the hillside [44]. In the French Mediterranean backcountry, researchers identified 407 nonnative perennials planted in 120 private gardens. Of the nonnative garden perennials, golden bamboo was 1 of 20 that escaped into adjacent abandoned fields [35].
Preventing postfire establishment and spread: Golden bamboo seedling establishment is unlikely on burned sites, because golden bamboo rarely produces seed. However, sources indicate that golden bamboo spreads rapidly from rhizomes following disturbances [36,50]. If established golden bamboo clones occur in or near burned areas, increased clone size or rhizome spread should be expected.
Preventing invasive plants from establishing in weed-free burned areas is the most effective and least costly management method. This may be accomplished through early detection and eradication, careful monitoring and follow-up, and limiting dispersal of invasive plant seed into burned areas. General recommendations for preventing postfire establishment and spread of invasive plants include:
For more detailed information on these topics see the following publications: [2,5,18,52].
Use of prescribed fire as a control agent: Prescribed fire alone is unlikely to control golden bamboo, since stems sprout after fire [38], and rhizome growth is stimulated by disturbances [36,50]. Fire may be useful in preparing a site for herbicide treatments [38]. MANAGEMENT CONSIDERATIONS SPECIES: Phyllostachys aurea
FEDERAL LEGAL STATUS:
None
OTHER STATUS:
Information on state-level noxious weed status of plants in the United States is available at Plants Database.
Because primary literature and original research on golden bamboo are lacking, the following summary relied heavily on information presented in other reviews [1,8,13,25,28,33,36,43,44,50,51]. Information in these reviews often lacked supporting documentation and details. Additional research on golden bamboo is necessary before the information in this and other reviews can be properly assessed for accuracy and completeness.
IMPORTANCE TO LIVESTOCK AND WILDLIFE:
Birds and small mammals are reported to feed on bamboo seed (Tribe Bambuseae). High levels of seed predation are considered a reason for mass synchronous seeding by bamboos [25]. However, seed production by golden bamboo is rare [12,13].
OTHER USES:
Young golden bamboo shoots are occasionally utilized as food by humans [13], but more often mature golden bamboo stems are used in construction. Golden bamboo stems have been used to make canes, fishing poles, fishing nets, ski poles, javelins, irrigation pipes, musical instruments, furniture, and umbrella and fan handles [3,8,13].
IMPACTS AND CONTROL:
Impacts: Most predictions and descriptions of golden bamboo's impacts on native vegetation and riparian areas are anecdotal (e.g., [16,28,42]). Although many suggest that impacts are likely because of aggressive growth and spread, detailed study and documentation are lacking.
In many areas, golden bamboo is still primarily restricted to urban areas and original planting sites. Because of golden bamboo's rapid growth, it has often been used as a visual and noise barrier in landscapes [33]. However, many states recognize golden bamboo as a threat to native habitat structure and function because growth and spread of established clones can be extensive. In 2009, the Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council ranked golden bamboo a Category II invasive plant, which is a nonnative plant that has increased in abundance or frequency but has not altered plant communities extensively [15]. As of 2006, the Georgia Exotic Pest Plant Council considered golden bamboo a "moderate" problem based on its invasion of native plant communities and displacement of native plant species [16]. In 2008, golden bamboo was listed as a "severe threat" to the "composition, structure, or function of natural areas in South Carolina" [42].
Spread of established golden bamboo clones has resulted in a loss of native vegetation in Hawaii [44] and Texas. In Texas, golden bamboo may also disrupt riparian ecosystem processes [28]. Although grown in Hawaii for many years, golden bamboo was not noticed in native plant communities until 1992 when it spread from a roadside planting in Kailua, Oahu. The clone came to occupy more than an acre of a hillside and excluded most other native vegetation [44]. In Texas, escaped golden bamboo plants are most common in the Lower Galveston Bay watershed near Houston's urban and residential communities. The Texas Invasive Plant Pest Council (TIPPC) reports that established golden bamboo clones have "aggressive" growth rates and sprouting abilities. Spread can be rapid in all directions from the point of establishment. Although documentation and details are lacking, the TIPPC suggests that golden bamboo clones can displace native vegetation, alter habitat structure, and impact litter-feeding stream invertebrates. Golden bamboo is also thought to attract cockroaches in urban areas [28]. For additional information about the introduction and spread of golden bamboo in its US range, see the discussion on Local spread.
Control: Control of nonnative species is most effective when it employs a long-term, ecosystem-wide strategy rather than a tactical approach focused on an individual species [34]. When targeting a nonnative species for control, the potential for other invasive species to fill their void must be considered, regardless of the control method [6]. Because golden bamboo grows and spreads most rapidly after a clone is established [28,44], control is likely most effective on new populations or plantings [31].
Fire: For information on the use of prescribed fire to control this species, see Fire Management Considerations.
Prevention: Increasing public awareness, limiting nursery sales, and constructing barriers around established clumps may be useful in preventing golden bamboo establishment and spread. As of 2008, golden bamboo was still available for sale from garden centers and nurseries. The Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants recommends designing a program that educates the public about golden bamboo's aggressive growth habit, discourages its planting and use in landscaping, and cautions people about its ability to spread into and negatively affect native vegetation [33]. Spread of established plants from landscape plantings may be prevented or slowed by digging a 3-foot (1 m) deep barrier around golden bamboo clumps [28].
It is commonly argued that the most cost-efficient and effective method of managing invasive species is by preventing their establishment and spread through the maintenance of "healthy" natural communities [34,41,49] and by continual monitoring [26]. Maintaining the integrity of the native plant community and mitigating the factors that enhance ecosystem invasibility are likely to be more effective than managing solely to control the invader [21].
Weed prevention and control can be incorporated into many types of management plans, including those for logging and site preparation, grazing allotments, recreation management, research projects, road building and maintenance, and fire management [52]. See the Guide to noxious weed prevention practices [52] for specific guidelines in preventing the spread of weed seeds and propagules under different management conditions.
Cultural control: No information is available on this topic (2009).
Physical or mechanical control: Repeated cutting or mowing in golden bamboo stands may kill plants by exhausting rhizome nutrient stores. It is recommended that stems be cut close to the ground. Cutting or mowing should be repeated throughout the growing season and will likely be necessary for several years [28,33,50].
Biological control: As of 2009, no insects or pathogens have been released to control golden bamboo, and reports of biological control investigations were lacking.
Many factors must be considered and evaluated before biological controls are released. Refer to these sources: [54,55] and the Weed control methods handbook [48] for background information and important considerations for developing and implementing biological control programs.
Chemical control: Cutting golden bamboo stems prior to herbicide applications may increase herbicide effectiveness. Applications are recommended when sprouts are leafing out and outdoor temperatures exceed 65 °F (18 °C) [33]. Herbicides may be most effective when applied to the wounded bases of cut stems [36]. Information on herbicides that may be effective in controlling golden bamboo can be found in the following references: [10,33].
While herbicides are effective in gaining initial control of a new invasion or a severe infestation, rarely do they provide a complete or long-term weed management solution [7]. See the Weed control methods handbook [48] for considerations on the use of herbicides in natural areas and detailed information on specific chemicals.
Integrated management: No information is available on this topic (2009).
Altered fire frequency, severity, or behavior in habitats invaded by golden bamboo was not described in the available literature (2009). David Taylor, a botanist for the Daniel Boone National Forest in Kentucky, reports that fire spread is unlikely in bottomland habitats where golden bamboo grows, unless the area experiences an extreme drought. In extreme drought conditions, Taylor suggests golden bamboo may fuel a "fire storm". In an experiment, dry golden bamboo leaves and stems burned "hot" (personal communication [47]).
Although fire behavior and severity in golden bamboo stands have not been studied or reported in detail, pictures below suggest that stand and fuel structure can vary by time since cutting and/or site conditions. Although the golden bamboo stand in the picture on the left lacks basal leaves, fire is likely to carry through these stands if there are dead stem and leaves present on the ground. Flames typically reach the leafy canopy, producing "spectacular" fires. Stems make popping sounds as the moisture in the nodes is heated and expands to split open the nodes [38].
See the Fire Regime Table for further information on fire regimes of vegetation communities in which golden bamboo may occur. Find further fire regime information for the plant communities in which this species may occur by entering the species name in the FEIS home page under "Find FIRE REGIMES".
Roadsides, rights of way, and old home sites are the most commonly described habitats with dense and extensive golden bamboo stands [1,28,36,57]. However, golden bamboo also occurs in secondary forests, forest clearings, and forest edges in Texas [28], prairie and pine forests in southwestern Louisiana [14], natural areas and parks in Alabama [1], and is spreading into hammock/pine-oak forests on Cumberland Island National Seashore in Georgia [57].
Climate: Although most common as an escaped cultivar in the southern United States, golden bamboo survives in climates as far north as Vancouver, British Columbia, in the West and Buffalo, New York, in the East [3]. Golden bamboo plants tolerate temperatures as low as -4 °F (-18 °C) [13,51]. Golden bamboo escapes occur on Cumberland Island, Georgia, where the climate is subtropical. Summers are hot and humid and winters are short and mild. The average high and low monthly temperatures are 81 °F (27 °C) and 54 °F (12 °C). Annual precipitation averages 51 inches (1,295 mm), and rains are generally heavy from September to October [57].
Elevation: In China, golden bamboo stands occur at elevations of up to 3,300 feet (1,000 m) in the southeast and up to 6,600 feet (2,000 m) in the southwest [13,51]. As of 2009, elevation tolerances for golden bamboo were not reported for the United States.
Soils: Golden bamboo growth is considered best in rich, deep, well-drained sands [13,51], although the Southeastern Exotic Pest Plant Council reports "vigorous" golden bamboo growth and spread in moist, deep loams [43]. In southwestern Louisiana, golden bamboo occurs in prairies with poorly drained silt loam to clay soils [14]. Although golden bamboo may persist on a variety of soils, stem diameter and height are likely reduced in fine textured and/or poorly drained soils [13].
Reports vary on the likelihood of flowering and the fate of golden bamboo clones after flowering. Most reports indicate that golden bamboo produces masses of flowers sporadically and synchronously, but reported intervals between mass flowering events range from 7 to 30 years ([13,36], Keesing personal communication cited in [25]). Janzen [25] indicates that bamboos are strictly monocarpic, and clumps destined to flower do not produce new stems in the year prior to flowering. Other researchers [13,20] report that golden bamboo clumps do not die after flowering. Hisamoto and Kobayashi [20] indicated that aboveground stems died after flowering but rhizomes did not. After flowering, rhizomes were capable of sprouting. If sprouts produced variegated leaves, the stems flowered again and died, but if sprouts produced nonvariegated leaves, the stem ceased to flower but continued vegetative growth [20]. It is possible that stem death and plant death have been confused in golden bamboo reviews.
Variable flowering intervals are reported from several native and nonnative golden bamboo habitats. Although golden bamboo has been observed for decades in Texas, flowering has been rare [28]. Just a single flowering specimen was reported in north-central Texas [12]. Based on observations made on golden bamboo plants in Europe, Keesing suggests that plants produce masses of seed at 14- to 19-year intervals (personal communication cited in [25]). Dransfield and Widjaja [13] report that bamboo flowering occurs at 15- to 30-year intervals. Naturalized golden bamboo populations in Java, Indonesia, never flowered, and flowering in Japan occurred from 1916 to 1921 [13].
Seedling establishment and plant growth: While golden bamboo plants can be produced from seed, this is rare.
Vegetative growth from established clones can be rapid. Stems may reach full height within 1 month of emergence [13]. Golden bamboo stem growth was monitored in a plantation on Japan's Kyoto University campus. On 20 May, stems were about 20 inches (50 cm) tall, and by 24 June, stems were about 280 inches (700 cm) tall [46].
Successional studies in habitats invaded by golden bamboo were lacking as of the writing of this review (2009). Golden bamboo growth is considered best in full sun conditions, but plants may persist in shade [33]. In the hottest climates, shade may improve golden bamboo growth [43].
Several sources indicate that golden bamboo's presence and spread are associated with disturbances. Although golden bamboo is rare in Seminole County, Florida, it is reported on disturbed sites [56]. Rapid spread by rhizomes can be stimulated by disturbances [36,50].
Rhizome growth by golden bamboo clones can result in the development of dense thickets and colonies [12,31,43]. A single golden bamboo clump can produce up to 9.3 miles (15 km) of stems in its lifetime [8]. Golden bamboo "once established, is very aggressive in both its rate of growth as well as the sprouting of new stems". Spread is often "rapid" in all directions from the point of establishment [28].
Golden bamboo sprouts after cutting [50], and dispersal is primarily through vegetative means. Researchers suspect that golden bamboo may be dispersed by rhizome fragments discarded in yard waste [31].

Gylden Furebambus (Phyllostachys aurea) er en vintergrøn busk med en opret, senere dog noget overhængende vækst. På grund af de korte jordstængler, danner planten længe en tue, men senere bliver den fladedækkende. Arten tåler temperaturer ned til minus 22 °C.
Skuddene er leddelte, hule og runde i tværsnit, men fra og med de knæ, som bærer sideskud, er skuddet fladt eller furet oven over sideskuddet. Diameteren er 2-5 cm, afstanden mellem knæene er 15-30 cm og farven er i begyndelsen grøn, men i sol bliver den plettet gul. Sideskuddene sidder to-og-to ved knæene og er tynde, overhængende og ret korte. Også de er leddelte.
Bladene sidder 2-3 på hvert sideskud. De er forholdsvis små, helrandede og elliptiske med langt tilløbende spids. Oversiden er lysegrøn med forsænket midterribbe, mens undersiden er mere grågrøn. Planten blomstrer efter mange års vækst og dør siden bort. Blomsterne er samlet i små bladdækkede aks, der danner små stande. De enkelte blomster er reducerede, og man ser mest de udhængende støvdragere. Frugterne er nødder.
Rodnettet består af korte jordstængler og grove, trævlede rødder.
Højde x bredde og årlig tilvækst: 2,50 x 1,50 m (250 x 50 cm/år). Længdevæksten afhænger af det foregående års varmesum, og i hjemlandet bliver skuddene væsentligt højere (op til 4 m).
Gylden Furebambus er udbredt i bjergskove i provinserne Fujian og Zhejiang i Kina. Desuden er arten naturaliseret i det sydlige USA, Mellemamerika, Sydamerika, Australien og New Zealand. Arten optræder både som underskov og som pionerplante.
Den er knyttet til voksesteder i fuld sol til halvskygge med en jord, som er fugtig, veldrænet og rig på humus og mineraler. I sit hjemland danner den bestande, som er næsten rene, dvs. uden andre planter overhovedet.

Der Goldrohrbambus (Phyllostachys aurea, Syn.: Bambusa aurea André) ist eine Bambus-Art aus der Gattung Phyllostachys.
Der Goldrohrbambus hat dichte, schmale, aufrechte, blassgrüne bis sonnengelbe Halme und wird 2,5 bis 4 Meter hoch. Die Blätter sind hellgrün, 10 cm lang und 1 bis 2 cm breit.
Die Chromosomenzahl beträgt 2n = 48.[1]
Phyllostachys stammt aus dem Griechischen und bedeutet etwa: „beblätterte Ähre“, ein Hinweis auf den Blütenstand mit Blättern. aurea [lat.] bedeutet „golden“ und verweist auf die goldfarbenen Halme.
Der Goldrohrbambus stammt aus subtropischen Gebieten in Südchina in den Provinzen Fujian und Zhejiang bis Vietnam.[2]
In China werden aus den Halmen Spazierstöcke und Angeln hergestellt, aus den Rhizomen auch Knäufe für Regenschirme.
Der Goldrohrbambus ist sehr gut als Sichtschutz oder Hecke geeignet. Er ist einfach zu kultivieren und anpassungsfähig.

Phyllostachys aurea is a species of bamboo, and is of the 'running bamboo' type, belonging to the diverse Bambuseae tribe. It is native to Fujian and Zhejiang in China. It is commonly known by the names fishpole bamboo, golden bamboo, monk's belly bamboo, and fairyland bamboo (Australia).
Phyllostachis aurea is cultivated as an ornamental plant for gardens. In the United States, Australia, South Africa and Italy, it is considered an invasive species that crowds out native species and becomes a monoculture that is difficult to remove.[2] It is a cold-hardy bamboo, performing well in USDA zones 6 to 10, (Connecticut to Florida).[3] In the UK it has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[4][5] It is a tall evergreen species growing to 8 m (26 ft) tall by 4 m (13 ft) broad. Like most bamboos it can become invasive if kept in warm, moist conditions in good quality soil with access to full sunlight.[4] It is a prohibited species in New York.
Cultivars include:
P. aurea's lush foliage makes it desirable for ornamental purposes and privacy hedges, and its characteristic 'knotty' compressed lower internodes render it desirable among collectors.[3] It is well-suited to the making of bamboo pipes.
The common forms of P. aurea are easily identified by their characteristic compressed internodes in the lower part of the canes which have a tortoise shell-like appearance. This internodal compression result in shorter heights (25 ft) and thicker cane diameters (relative to height) than many other Phyllostachys species.[3]
The canes turn yellow in full or partial sun, and deepen into a gold-orange color as the plant matures. Branching and foliage tend to start lower to the ground than many other Phyllostachys species, but some prefer to cut off lower branches to show off the interesting 'tortoise shell' lower part of the canes.[3]

Phyllostachys aurea es una especie vegetal del género de bambús Phyllostachys. Es una especie de bambú que resiste a temperaturas de -20 °C. Es de las especies susceptibles de alcanzar el mayor desarrollo en países europeos, en Francia, en particular al sur (Bambuseria de Prafrance). Debido a su rápido crecimiento a partir de los rizomas, si no se controla tiende a extenderse y hacerse invasora.
Distribución en China: provincias del sur del río Han.
Este bambú aprecia el sol, un suelo fértil y no demasiado seco; estos parámetros así como la temperatura determinan sus dimensiones, resistirá en malas condiciones pero sin alcanzar las proporciones habituales en su país de origen.
Su tamaño alcanza hasta catorce metros en condiciones óptimas.
Sus brotes son comestibles, salen principalmente en abril-junio, las paredes de los brotes de las cañas jóvenes son parecidas a los troncos de los ciruelos, y se desarrollan a una velocidad notable de 5 a 10 mm al día, durante el pico del período de crecimiento.
Internodos pequeños. Caña gruesa y pubescente gruesa. La pieza clara anular de la caña indistinta. Bráctea de la caña levemente convexa con setae de hojas caducas.
Envoltura de la caña cubierta con grueso pelo marrón y con manchas marrones oscuras. La envoltura de las aurículas se encuentran en los internodos cortos, con el pelo humeral desarrollado. La envoltura de los internodos cortos de la lígula es amplia, con forma arqueada, con ambos lados inclinados.
La envoltura verde de la lámina con forma triangular larga o lanceolada. Las cañas verde azuladas al principio, luego amarilleando con la edad y el sol, tienen un diámetro de hasta 6 o 7 cm
Las hojas son estrechas y pequeñas de 4 a 11 cm de largo, y de 5 a 12 mm de ancho.
Además de como ornamento, este bambú es apreciado por su madera, la cual se utiliza para la confección de muebles y pequeñas artesanías.
Su madera es apreciada principalmente por su color dorado, el cual adquiere al ser tratada cuidadosamente con fuego o siendo horneada previamente para luego confeccionar los muebles.
Obtuvo popularidad en Centroamérica en 1978 debido a la llegada de artesanos provenientes de Taiwán.
Phyllostachys aurea fue descrita por Riviere & C.Riviere y publicado en Bulletin de la Societe Nationale d'Acclimatation de France 5: 716–721, f. 36–37. 1878.[1]
Phyllostachys: nombre genérico que deriva del griego antiguo y significa "en la punta de las hojas", refiriéndose a las inflorescencias.[2]
aurea: epíteto latino que significa "dorado".

Le Phyllostachys aurea est une espèce de bambou appartenant au genre Phyllostachys. Originaire de la Chine, il a été introduit il y a fort longtemps au Japon et à Formose.
Au Japon il est appelé « gazan-chiku », ou « hotei-chiku », dont la traduction en français donne « bambou du royaume des fées ».
Les Phyllostachys se caractérisent par 2 branches de taille inégale aux nœuds de leurs chaumes. Un sillon sur l'entre-nœud est également présent.
Phyllostachys aurea peut être difficile à identifier car il possède des caractéristiques de croissance variables selon l'exposition. À l'ombre complète, les chaumes restent verts. En plein soleil, les chaumes virent lentement au jaune au cours des une ou deux premières années, puis vers l'orangé au fur et à mesure qu'ils vieillissent.
Il forme des touffes denses et un feuillage vert clair très fourni. Les feuilles ont tendance à croître tout le long du chaume et n'ont pas de lignes ou de stries. Dans des conditions idéales, ces bambous peuvent atteindre 8-10 mètres de hauteur.
La meilleure façon d'identifier cette espèce réside en ses nœuds empilés et comprimés qui sont parfois visibles à la base des chaumes. Ces excroissances internodales comprimées sont appelés «écaille de tortue»[1].
Peu traçant, il est caractérisé par des pousses comestibles et peut résister à des températures de l'ordre de −20 °C. L'espèce peut se développer agressivement si rien n'est fait pour la contenir. Ce bambou est répertorié comme une plante invasive dans de nombreux pays.
C'est un des bambous les plus utilisés dans le monde entier pour son bel aspect ornemental. On en fait notamment des haies denses.
Le Phyllostachys aurea est une espèce de bambou appartenant au genre Phyllostachys. Originaire de la Chine, il a été introduit il y a fort longtemps au Japon et à Formose.
Gullbambus er sígrænn runni með upprétta stöngla, þó seinna lútandi. Vegna stuttra jarðstöngla myndar hún í upphafi þéttan hnaus, en breiðist svo meir út. Tegundin þolir niður að -22°C.
Stönglarnir eru liðskiptir, holir og rúnnaðir. Ummálið er 2-5sm, bilið milli hnjánna er 15-30sm og liturinn er í byrjun grænn, en verður í sól gulflekkóttur. Blöðin eru 2-3 á hverjum hliðarsprota. Þau eru tiltölulega smá og lensulaga. Að ofan eru þau ljósgræn, en að neðan grágræn. Plantan blómstrar eftri margra ára vöxt og deyr svo eftir blómgunina.
Rótin samanstendur af jarðstönglum og þéttri trefjarót.
Hæð x breidd og árlegur vöxtur: 2,50 x 1,50 m (250 x 50 sm/ári). Lengdarvöxturinn fer eftir varmasummu fyrra árs og er meiri í upprunalandinu (allt að 4 m).
Gullbambus er útbreiddur í fjallaskógum í héruðunum Fujian og Zhejiang í Kína. Þess utan hefur tegundin villst úr ræktun í suður BNA, Mið-Ameríku, Suður-Ameríku, Ástralíu og Nýja Sjálandi.

Trúc hóa long (danh pháp hai phần: Phyllostachys aurea), là một loài cây thuộc phân họ Tre (Bambusoideae) trong họ Hòa thảo (Poaceae).
Loài trúc này thân cao 5–12 m, đường kính 2–5 cm, khoảng cách các đốt 15–30 cm. Các đốt ở phía gốc bị co ngắn lại và phồng lên, đan chéo nhau tạo cho cây một dáng vẻ hấp dẫn tuyệt vời, nhìn tựa con rồng đang bay lên, màu sắc vỏ cũng rất đẹp.
Tại Trung Quốc P. aurea có mặt ở các tỉnh Phúc Kiến, Chiết Giang với tên gọi 人面竹 (nhân diện trúc) và cũng được đưa vào Bắc Mỹ hay châu Âu.
Tại Việt Nam, loài cây này hiện phân bố rất hẹp, chủ yếu ở một vài vùng ở miền núi phía Bắc như ở Bắc Kạn, hiện tại đang có nguy cơ bị tuyệt chủng. Cần được bảo tồn nguồn gen.
Loài cây này được dùng chủ yếu làm cây cảnh.

別名多般竹、鹿児島県ではコサンダケ(小桟竹・虎山竹・五三竹)と呼ばれ、奄美大島ではくさんでー、だーなとも言う。
直径2-5cm、高さ5-12mの中形の竹。表面に毛は無いが、底部には白く短い毛がある[2]。枝先に葉が2-5枚付く。花は穂状に付き、長さ3-8mm。原産は中国の長江流域、または浙江省、福建省の[2]山地で、黄河以南の山野に分布する[2]。ベトナムではバックカン省など、北部に分布する。日本や台湾などにも移入され、自生化している。開花周期は60年‐120年。
稈の基部から枝下あたりまでの節が斜めになって、節間が不規則に短く詰まって膨らんでいる。それが七福神の布袋の膨らんだ腹を連想させることから布袋竹と名付けられた。中国では「人面竹」と呼んでいるが、布袋と同じ連想の「羅漢竹」、「寿星竹」、「仏肚竹」や、「観音竹」、「邛竹」などの別名もある。
同様の節の形を有するモウソウチクの変種はキッコウチク(亀甲竹)と呼ばれ、その直径は約10cmでホテイチクよりも太い。
園芸植物として各国の庭に植えられている。
節の斜めになった部分が握りやすく、乾燥材は折れにくいため、釣り竿として使われる。かつて、ホテイチク製の釣り竿が外貨獲得の花形だった時期がある。
モウソウチクなどと同じ様に加工して、杖、小さい器や柄杓などを作ることもできる。
稈は他に若竹の幹を破って、薄い内膜を鳴らす子供の玩具とし、その音からググ竹と呼ばれた。
タケノコ(薩隅方言で「こさんだけんこ」[3])はモウソウチクのタケノコの時期より後の4月下旬から5月上旬(中国では主に5月[2])に出てくる地上部を、手で折るとポンと音がして取れる[3]が、鎌で刈ることもある。無毛で、竹皮も手で剥ぎ取ることができる上、アク抜きの必要がなく、歯ごたえも味もよい。一般に煮付け、炊き込みご飯、みそ汁、漬物で食べられる。鹿児島県では軽くゆでて、刺身と同様に酢味噌を付けて食べることも多い[3]。中国では、「小笋尖」などとも呼び、鶏肉などとスープにしたり、炒め物にして食べることが多いが、メンマ(シナチク)にも加工される。
