Fishpole Bamboo, originating from China, has striking yellow-green stems with a tortoiseshell pattern and lush green foliage. It rarely flowers, sometimes taking over a decade for any blooms to appear. As a rapidly growing perennial, it's favored for creating privacy screens and hedges due to its fast growth, often reaching 2 to 3 feet (60-90 cm) annually, making it an efficient choice for landscape design.
