Like all multiplex bamboos, Golden Hedge has a very dense, broad growth pattern which makes it the perfect choice for an impenetrable living hedge while the yellow canes with vertical green stripes make it a good candidate for a centerpiece planting.

Since Golden Hedge is slightly shorter (maximum height of 30′) than the 45′-tall Green Hedge Clumping Bamboo (Bambusa multiplex ‘Silverstripe’), it may be preferable for a smaller yard or for planting under electric wires. If space is not a problem, however, Golden Hedge and Green Hedge look very attractive when mixed together to form a living fence.

Another one of Golden Hedge Clumping Bamboo’s assets is its hardiness. It can tolerate temperatures into the mid-teens. We have seen Golden Hedge Clumping Bamboo growing throughout the Southeast and in the temperate climate of Seattle, WA.

Even though the multiplex family of bamboo is one of the hardiest groups of clumping bamboos, it still will not survive any part of the country that regularly gets single-digit or subzero winter temperatures. If you live in one of those areas and wish to create a living hedge of bamboo, please consider one of our Running Bamboos. Running Bamboos love cold weather and actually grow taller with larger diameter canes in colder climates than they do in warmer, more tropical parts of the world.
