Phyllostachys nigra

Phyllostachys nigra

Black Bamboo
Nigra - black bamboo - is the most distinctive of all the Phyllostachys. Its intensely black culms have a deep gloss resembling polished ebony.
When established, it has long culms and masses of frothy foliage.
Very pretty, and much used in temple gardens in the East.
The rhizomes are used for riding crops and Whangee canes.
The creamy shoots emerge late May, and at first are green, turning black through the summer. Prune the lower branches and cut back spindly weak growth. Good as a single specimen in full sun.

A good general perfomer in the garden.
