Black Bamboo Phyllostachys nigra 'Hale' var.
Description: A beautiful choice ornimental with small green leaves contrasting strikingly with the jet-black culms. Black bamboo is one of the more popular and desirable of the ornamental bamboos. Although a running bamboo, its beauty and mystique is well worth any efforts required to keep it contained (yearly pruning), whether that be in a landscape setting or in containers on the patio! New canes emerge green and turn black within a year. Plant prefers light shade.
Native Habitat: China and Japan. Root-hardy to about 0 degrees F.
Size: Hale variations can grow to 20 feet and is a smaller, more cold tolerant variant of the prinicpal form. Culms are usually about 1.5 inchs in diameter and are strikingly attractive.
Fishing Pole Bamboo - Phyllostachys aurea
Description: When a dense screen close to the ground is needed, this bamboo can be very effective, since the density of nodes on the lower portion of the culms also means a greater density of branches. This bamboo is heat, cold and drought tolerant, and it does well in a container and as a hedge. New canes emerge green and turn golden within a year. Plant prefers full sun.
Native Habitat: Root-hardy to about 0 degrees F.
Size: Maximum height is 27 ft. Culms are usually about 1.75 inchs in diameter..
Giant Japanese Timber Bamboo - Phyllostachys bambusoides 'Madake'

Native Habitat: China and Japan. Root-hardy to about 5 degrees F.
Size: Maximum height of 72 ft. Culm diameter 6 inches.
