Phyllostachys nigra
"Black Bamboo"
A dramatic specimen plant introduced from
China around 1823.
In warmer climates it is capable of running but under normal UK conditions it usually remains clump forming. Reaches 12ft.(4m) or more.
Canes need to be exposed to full sun to develop the most intense stem colour which normally appears only in their second year.
Has tolerated -20C. Protection from wind is desirable. The leaves are fairly small and are greyish beneath. There may be some loss of foliage quality by the end of the winter but this will be concealed by new growth in summer. RHS. award.
A very striking specimen plant. Can also be used for screening but fills out more slowly than such species as Phyllostachys aureosulcata. Often grown in containers but foliage sometimes becomes rather pale.
Phyllostachys nigra 'Punctata' may be a more vigorous form, often almost identical in appearance.
Phyllostachys nigra 'Hale' is a selected form which colours up very readily. It has a compact growth habit and is rather slow growing so availability is always very limited.
