Tall bamboo reaching a height of 8 meters and culms with a
diameter of up to 5
cm.
-
The young culms are green but
begin to darken towards the end of the first season,
gradually turning into a very deep dark brown color until they
reach maturity. The shoots develop in late May and early June.
-
This species does not run, and is thus very well suited as
a specimen plant. The dark brown to black culms are highly decorative.
-
Hardy

Other
Forms:
-
'Nigra': culms are completely black but this forms remains small, below 3 m.
-
Megurochiku': the culms are brown
like 'Punctata' but its sulcus is black.

plants. Black stems and the black sulcus create a beautiful
contrast. |
