A 1990's harvest...
These two pictures show the effects of cold has on the color of the bamboo culm.

Winter freeze burn on Phyllostachys aureosulcata (http://www.bamboocraft.net/bamboo/showphoto.php?photo=553), grown in the the Pocono mountains of NE Pennsylvania, USA (-10 to -20 degrees Farenheit.)

Close-up of winter freeze-burn on Phyllostachys aureosulcata. (http://www.bamboocraft.net/bamboo/showphoto.php?photo=554)
When dried, the dark coloration changes to light or dark chocolate brown, depending on the drying process.
These effects make each culm unique, with a story to tell of the life they had in the garden.
