Phyllostachys Nigra - Black Bamboo

Ebony black canes contrasted by bright green leaves makes phyllostachys nigra a truly stunning bamboo from China. It can attain  heights of 4 to 6 metres in the open ground and withstand temperatures as low as -18c. It makes a perfect screen to mask ugly views and fences or looks fabulous as an isolated clump. Whichever way it looks fantastic in the exotic garden.

Black bamboo must be planted in full sun to develop and retain its black canes, planted in shade the canes will revert to green. Free draining soil rich in organic matter with frequent deep watering will keep your plant happy - no bamboo must ever be allowed to dry out. It absolutely does not like very windy sites so unless your garden is relatively sheltered please use the more wind tolerant varieties such as phyllostachys aurea.

Finally, this makes a perfect potted specimen preferring deep containers and particularly looks great against a white wall. I would advise that potted specimens are put on an automatic irrigation system as to forget to water can severely damage the plant or even kill it. Make sure you feed adequately in the growing season.
