Find The Best Phyllostachys Nigra Black Bamboo For Sale Before Buying

By Ruthie Calderon


Many people will argue about whether or not to plant bamboo in their garden. It is an excellent plant if one wants to put up a screen for privacy. The phyllostachys nigra black bamboo for sale offered by reliable suppliers is considered a very good choice. Its more common name is the Black Bamboo and can be planted in cold areas as it is very hardy.

It was first introduced into the United States of America in eighteen twenty seven and will give very bold and contrasting color during its first and second year of growth. Its leaves are small and light green and give an appearance of a feather like arrangement. The new shoots will first appear about April or May and be a reddish color.

When planting them always add a large amount of rich topsoil or compost to the ground as this will ensure that it will not grow into tight clusters and then produce only thin culms. Do not plant too close together either, evenly spaced will produce a healthier growth. When they are dried they will keep their dark or mottled color which is why they are widely used in the making of woodworks.

In Indonesia they are thinly sliced and boiled with a coconut milk and different spices are added to create a dish called gulai rebung. Many of the shoots will need to be pre-cooked in order to make them safer to consume. Many wines as well as soft drinks are made from the very young stalk as they are still full of flavour and tender.

There are two main types of bamboos and these are the non-invasive clumping and the running. The clumping which can be the sympodial or pachymorph have short roots and will form small discrete clumps. The ones that tend to have a slightly longer root is often referred to an open clumper. They are actually not able to expand very much in a year and each year the clumps will become larger. These can reach anywhere from three to ten feet in diameter.

The Chinese Walking Stick or Qiongzhuea Tumidissinoda is rare and is very decorating. The node is known to spread out to double the width of the culm producing an effect of saucer- like shapes. The leaves are very small and drape very close to the ground, very much like the weeping willow. It is able to grow in the Northwest Pacific but is very sensitive to climates.

The running ones tend to be very quick spreaders sending out rhizomes far from the parent plant. These are recommended for quick fill-ins as well as for large groves. They are not as expensive as others but in most instances will need to have a root barrier installed. There is a very large variety of these species that can be chosen in this group.

In some places for a large three gallon size container they sold at ninety nine dollars but at Lewis Bamboo they are now going for sixty nine dollars. They are between four and six foot tall and the root growth is very good. They also have a variety of other rare bamboos for one to browse through.
