Black Bamboo is beautiful in the landscape with the stunning contrast of colors provided by its ebony culms and bright green foliage.
Black Bamboo is used for timber, food and musical instruments, among other things, in areas of China where it is native.
This temperate species of bamboo is the most common species used in the bamboo textile industry of China. Its physical properties boast an average breaking tenacity more than 3x that of cotton, wool, rayon or polyester.
Unlike some varieties, Phyllostachys Nigra is NOT considered an invasive species in the United States.
Growing up to 10m (32 ft) tall by 3m (10 ft) broad, it forms clumps of slender arching canes which turn black after 2 or 3 seasons. The abundant lance-shaped leaves are 4-13 cm (2-5 in) long.
Black Bamboo grows the best is Climate Zones 7-10. It can grow in Climate Zone 6, but expected mature size is 16 ft tall, and will be slow to reach its maximum height.
Accents the landscaping of any garden or used to create a dense border for privacy.
Storage:  Cool, clean, dry area; keep seeds away from strong, direct sunlight.
Growing Recommendations:
1.   Remove outer brack from seeds (if present). Soak seeds in 85 degrees Fahrenheit (30 degrees Celsius) water for 24 hours. Temperatures over 105 F can kill your seeds. Cooler temperatures, however, will not hurt the seeds, but may delay germination by a few days.
2.  Pour seed-starting mix into a large bowl or bucket. Add small amounts of water to soil, while stirring by hand, until it feels moderately moist throughout.
3.  Fill seedling trays with moistened soil and sow 1-2 seeds 1/4" deep.
4.  Spritz each cell with a water spray bottle to settle the seed-starting mix around the black bamboo seeds.
5.  Cover the seedling trays with a clear propagation lid or plastic wrap. Place the mini greenhouse in a location where it will get medium shade.   NOTE: Do not allow seedling trays to get too much direct sun. Even a mini greenhouse can quickly get to high temperatures in hot direct sun, resulting in killing your seeds.
6.  Keep soil mix moist. After sprouting, seeds can die in a matter of hours if they dry out.
7.  Sprouts may appear within 10 days, although the bulk of germination will occur after at least 15 or 20 days. Some may take up to 2 months to sprout.
8.  Remove propagation lid before any sprouts can reach it. Harden sprouts off gradually to outdoor temperature, and transplant to permanent location, spacing 4 inches apart, when sprouts are 4 inches tall. The bamboo plants should be provided a generous layer of rich topsoil consisting of compost or aged manure or mulch, and allowed plenty of room to grow.
