Rare collector's bamboo

     From China this species is a  larger relative of 'Black'  with canes  that develop spots of blackish/brown coloration. The canes never turn completely solid black, but have a spotted 'snakeskin' appearance. This is one of a kind bamboo. The dark spots usually appear in the second year age of new culms (canes). It is as fast growing as the mother form Henon 'giant gray'. 

I recommend this species for USDA Climate Zones 6 and warmer.
