Phyllostachys nigra – Black bamboo 1.75-2m tall
Phyllostachys nigra is a bamboo variety with dark stems. Find Black bamboo for sale today!
It has new green stems that turn to a striking black in their 2nd/3rd year of growth. These narrow leaves are bright green and lanceolate.
Phyllostachys bamboo is a ‘clump forming’ variety that is less invasive than other running varieties.
Although this plant forms slowly spreading dense clumps, it has the potential to send out runners in ideal conditions.
We recommend planting bamboo with a root barrier in order to control the spread and direction of root growth.
An excellent choice for a striking screen, Phyllostachys nigra reaches a mature height of 4-6m and a mature spread of 3m.
Plant in moist, well draining soils in full sun or light dappled shade. Avoid very windy sites as this can ‘burn’ the leaves through very cold or hot periods.
