One of the first bamboo plants imported into the US was Golden Bamboo or Fishpole Bamboo as it is more commonly known in the south. Golden Bamboo (Phyllostachys aurea) was imported into the US early in the 17th century. It is a beautiful bamboo with contorted lower nodes that cane fishing poles are traditionally made from and although one of the most common bamboo plants found is still popular today.
