|discussion=<p><i>Phyllostachys aurea</i> is native to China, but it is widely cultivated in temperate and subtropical regions. In North America, it grows as far north as Vancouver, British Columbia, in the west and Buffalo, New York, in the east. The young shoots are very palatable, even when raw, but the mature culms are very hard when dried. They are sometimes used for fishpoles. This species differs from other species of <i>Phyllostachys</i>, including those with brighter yellow culms, in having a raised collar below the nodes and irregularly compressed basal culm nodes.</p>
