## Overview

Phyllostachys Nigra, known as Black Bamboo, features stunning jet black canes that grow up to 30 feet tall and 2 inches thick. Hardy to 5°F (zones 7-11), it thrives in full sun to shade with minimal watering after establishment. Delivered as a 1-gallon container, this fast-growing bamboo is perfect for dramatic specimen planting, privacy hedges, or stylish container displays.

## Description

The jet black canes of this bamboo are simply stunning and with the contrast of the soft green leaves waving gently in the breeze, it is truly a sight to behold. One of the most sought after bamboos on the market today. New canes emerge green but will turn black fairly quickly – take a look at the bamboo of my actual plants – a number of the canes have already turned black. Phyllostachys Nigra is hardy down to 5 degrees with no damage and can go lower with some top growth die back. Height is 30 feet in average conditions with the canes up to 2 inches in diameter. The plants that you will receive are one gallon size and will have their pots removed and wrapped with watering gel to protect them during their trip to you. No shipments to ARIZONA or HAWAII

Review: Beautiful bamboo ! - To start, this purchase was a gift, as I know very little about making things grow I did my version of research. That being said, from what I understand, trying to get bamboo in the species desired in seed form is sketchy, as well as not even being bamboo seeds, add in the germination of said questionable seeds being roughly 3% out of 100 seeds. . . Not good odds . . . When trying to give a surprise gift. . . To make a long story longer. . . Old Oaks provided the perfect solution, the bamboo arrived in Oregon quite timely, when unboxed stood up tall, roughly 6' high, not one leaf on these plants ( grasses . . .) Was discolored, healthy stalks, all in all in prime condition. It's been 3 weeks since they were received, and in her words "are beautiful"! By far well worth every penny ! If you want to gamble with seeds, that's your call, if you want a guaranteed beautiful plant . . . Old Oaks Garden and Nursery is the way to go. And as a disclaimer, I have no affiliation with this company nor have I received anything for my review. . . Other than from my girlfriend, but that's something else. . .
Review: Arrived in a healthy condition - I'm across the country from Florida, and could not be more impressed with the condition of the bamboo. I've purchased other plants online, and unlike those, this plant arrived in excellent condition. Unpackaging the plant made it clear why. The plant was secured in the box with tape and string, such that it didn't get jostled while shipping. The root ball was wrapped and taped so that it held more than enough moisture for the trip. This company has figured out that prepping the plant for shipping is the key. In addition, the written instructions that came with the plant were well written and very informative. I typically don't read planting instructions, but thankfully I did this time. Yes, I would have wanted to cut the circling roots, but the instructions made it clear cutting would be a mistake. Good information, a healthy plant, and looking forward to watching this bamboo grow to 30+ feet!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: hello want bamboo to put in a container on our large deck in zone 7 (staten island ny) it will always be in a container what is best bamboo variety ?**
A: I bought a black bamboo in January about 12 inches tall. Had it on my deck all summer it's now about 4ft maybe more it's in a very large container and has to be soaked everyday.   I am in the Bronx and understood we were zone 4. I have a friend who works in research at the Botanical gardens she also has one on her terrace. She leaves it out in a sheltered spot all winter on the terrace and it's fine.

**Q: I have an outdoor planter with the dimensions of 46"x 17". It is 19" high. Will i be able to keep bamboo in this planter? Also how many should i buy?**
A: Yes - this planter size can accommodate this bamboo.  We would recommend that you place 2 in this size of planter.

**Q: How many plants would you suggest for a planter that is 36" x 16" x 16" ?**
A: One or two plants will be sufficient.  One if you are wanting to display the black canes more or 2 if you are looking for more a a privacy screen.

**Q: How much should we water this plant?**
A: Bamboo plants require LOTS of water.  In really hot weather I water my black bamboo twice a day. I've had mine for 2 years now, it grew at a moderate rate last year...this year it's growing 1 to 2 feet per day.
