Phyllostachys irredescens

Phyllostachys iridescens is a large, fast-growing evergreen bamboo noted for its striking new shoots that emerge dark red. The strong, upright canes can reach up to 7 cm in diameter and mature with attractive vertical stripes in shades of yellow and yellow-green.

Topped with tapering mid green leaves, this bamboo forms a dense screen or windbreak, making it ideal for privacy and shelter. Hardy and resilient, it performs well in a variety of garden settings.
