Phyllostachys nigra ‘Black Bamboo’
Dramatic black canes make this hard-to-find bamboo a sensational container or garden plant. Hardy to zone 7a, ‘Black Bamboo’ may also be successfully grown in a large container. This limits both its overall height (that can reach 30’ tall in the garden) and tendency to “run” (spread by underground rhizomes). Mature canes are 2” in diameter and emerge green but turn deep black after a year or two. We recommend removing the lower branches to make the black canes more visible. You should also thin annually, removing the smallest canes to maximize the size of the other canes. Grow in full sun in well-drained soil. Apply a heavy application of fertilizer in spring and a light application in fall. ‘Black Bamboo’ creates a sensational living screen or potted specimen.
