PLANT DESCRIPTION & MATURE SIZE

Golden Goddess Bamboo, scientifically known as Bambusa multiplex 'Golden Goddess', is an elegant and compact bamboo variety that brings an exotic ambiance to gardens and landscapes. This bamboo features slender, golden-yellow canes, which make it ideal for creating natural screens, hedges, or simply adding a decorative focal point. Offering manageable growth and adaptability to different climates, Golden Goddess Bamboo is an optimal choice for gardeners looking to enhance their outdoor space with minimal maintenance requirements.

GROWTH RATE & MATURE SIZE:

Fast growth rate; reaching a mature height of 8 to 10 feet and a width of 4 to 6 feet.

WATERING & SUNLIGHT

Golden Goddess Bamboo is a fairly drought-tolerant plant once established, but it does best with deep, regular watering especially during the first year. Whether you're planting it in full sun or partial shade, make sure to monitor soil moisture and adjust your watering schedule accordingly to keep the plant at its best.

PLANT CARE & PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS

PRUNING:
Remove older canes at the base of Golden Goddess Bamboo to encourage new growth and maintain a neat appearance. Trimming the tops of canes can help control height.

FERTILIZING:
Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring and late summer to support healthy, vibrant growth.

WINTER PROTECTION:
In colder climates within its hardiness range, mulch around the base to protect the roots during winter.

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS:

Choose a planting site with well-drained soil and good sun exposure. Dig a hole twice the width and the same depth as the root ball. If your soil is poor, amend it with organic matter for better drainage and fertility. Position the bamboo in the hole, ensuring that the top of the root ball is level with the ground. Backfill the hole and water thoroughly to settle the soil and eliminate air pockets. If planting multiple specimens for a screen or hedge, space them about 4-5 feet apart. After planting, apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch to help retain soil moisture and regulate temperature, taking care to keep the mulch away from the stems.

Zones 8-11

At Simply Trees, we're committed to your satisfaction. If your plants arrive considerably damaged or sustained damage beyond the point of recovery, please contact us within five days at sales@simplytrees.com with clear photos of the entire plant in question for assistance.

All California orders require a mandatory inspection by the Texas Department of Agriculture (yep, it’s a USDA thing!). These inspections happen about once a week—typically on Tuesdays, though the day can vary. If you place an order just after an inspection, your plant may not ship for several days until the next one. Unfortunately, we’re not able to expedite this part of the process.

Also, due to USDA regulations, we’re unable to ship oak trees, citrus or fruit trees (except olive trees) to California. This rule helps prevent the spread of pests and diseases and applies to nurseries across the country.

Thanks for your patience—we’ll make sure it’s worth the wait.
