Below is one of our Buddha sitting in a grove of P. nigra Black Bamboo. ![]() P. nigra is a favorite garden ornamental in China and Japan. Those who grow this bamboo in Western gardens are charmed by it's graceful habits and by the sharp contrast of color provided by the dark culms and green foliage. This beautiful bamboo does not like wind and the foliage can be damaged at temperatures 10 degree F. if a dry wind is present, so it needs to be planted in a protected place. It does well as a potted bamboo as long as it is placed in a cool place in the winter to have a dormant period. ![]() Below are some of the 15 gallon 'Black' we have dug and potted.
