Phyllostachys nigra (Black bamboo)

I love these Drc...I bought 3 about 6 years ago (quite expensive too)...I grew them in pots...read up on them, but they never really progressed any..Then last Winter they disappeared and i dumped the lot...:<(

Well its funny you should say that Motinot, I planted 2 last year and they have not grown at all.

I have just looked at a growers site and it says they need a lot of water in the first year to get them off to a good start.
But it did not say that on the label, so they were quite dry last summer and the 15 week drought this spring.

Ours were in pots for years, did nothing, nearly died..... so put them in the garden and now they are a picture, will post a pic when it stops raining yipee!!

Yes please DD

I have out one on........need a close up. see what I can do.
