I bought a 5 gallon Bambusa multiplex 'Golden Goddess' last fall and planted it in my backyard last fall. It seemed to be doing ok the last few months, but over the last week I noticed that most of its leaves are turning yellow. It had a little yellow when I got it in fall, but now most of the leaves are turning yellow.
No hard freezes this winter in TX, and the temperature had stayed over 25 F all winter.
The last couple of weeks the temperature is warming up in TX, and everything thing is coming out of dormancy. I would expect the bamboo to turn greener, but it seems to be doing exactly the opposite.
What is going on? I love this bamboo clump, and want to do all I can.
Is this normal for bamboo? Do the leaves turn yellow and drop in spring?
The stalks(culms?) are all green and healthy, only the leaves are yellowish brown.
thanks,
xman
