A truly stunning specimen, this guadua has blonde culms with random dark green stripes, beautiful variegated leaves, and white nodal rings.  But be careful, true to is guadua species, it has thorns.  Due to its recent arrival in the United States, its true size is as yet undetermined, however, our 3-year old specimen is approximately 25' and its canes about 2-2 1/2" in diameter.
