Black Bamboo
Black Bamboo (Phyllostachys nigra)
Source plant from Bamboo Garden Nursery, Jan 2017
Gorgeous clumping bamboo that develops black canes after 6-12 months. I have it planted on the west side of some potted citrus.
Beautiful plant, this is it in spring; Foliage greens up tremendously in summer
