Detailed Description: Here's your gorgeous Golden Goddess Bamboo in a substantial 5-gallon size for immediate impact! Most homeowners maintain these at 8–10 feet tall and 4–6 feet wide, though they can reach 12–15 feet if left unpruned. What makes Golden Goddess special? Those stunning golden-yellow culms create an amazing tropical look, and it's a clumping bamboo – meaning it won't take over your yard like running bamboos! Here in Willis, it's perfect for creating instant privacy screens or adding that exotic Asian garden feel. The beautiful arching habit and golden color make it a real showstopper. In winter, expect it to stay mostly evergreen through our Willis climate, though severe cold may cause some dieback – but it'll bounce right back in spring!
