Description
Basically, the message is that you need to have realistic expectations. Most bamboos have green canes with green leaves. Some have variegated leaves (white stripes on the leaves.) For the most part, variegated leaves are most vibrant when the leaf is young. Age and exposure to the sun most often dulls the variegation. An exception is Bambusa glaucophlla MALAY DWARF, whose leaves stay variegated in full sun.
For color in the canes – here are some useful qualities to keep in mind. For the most part yellow caned bamboos are yellow from inception. The canes generally emerge yellow, and stay yellow until that particular cane reaches the end of its personal road. The exception to this would be Bambusa dolichomerithalla greenstripe. This is a bamboo whose canes start off green and then mature to yellow.
Black bamboos usually start off green when they are juvenile. Every season, the new canes emerge green and then turn black. Smaller, younger plants may take a season or two to attain the maturity to change color. Older plants will do it as a matter of course.
