Black Bamboo for Dawn

Dawn will love this, its lovely

Looks healthy... :o)

Lovely Toto . really eye catching !

This is beautiful.

Thanks all.
I had it a pot for a few years where it did absolutely nothing. I put it in the garden last year and it has shot up.

Freedom! its reaching for the sky, no stopping it now Toto

Thankyou Pansy. The canes are black but need to thicken yet for it to look at their best.

Oh yes, thanks Toto - it looks great and so healthy.

Thanks Dawn.
I haven't forgotten. I'll check at the weekend.

No worries, thank you.
Just talking about you on Ray's blog - The Brighter Side Of LIfe ...

Oh yeah. I'll need to check that out.

I just bought a black bamboo and was looking on the internet for data about growing it properly. I hope my plant looks as good as the one pictured above, in a couple of years of course. Right now it is only 18" high. It's a twig.

It doesn't take long to reach reasonable proportions and I need to cut mine down regularly.

Good luck, Oldbuccaneer, with your black bamboo ..
and welcome to GoY ..

fascinating shrub .... Hi Toto ;o)
