Description
Phyllostachys are attractive, tall, evergreen bamboos that make an architectural statement in the garden. Best grown as a single specimen in a large garden. In the right conditions it can spread, so limit the roots with a non-perishable barrier. P. nigra Punctata is an excellent, hardy specimen. It can grow up to 6m. Elegant evergreen bamboo with arching, green stems that become shiny and purple-black with age.
