Black bamboo

Black bamboo (Phyllostachys nigra) is an exotic variety known for its ebony-colored stalks that may be grown in your own garden, but can be invasive.

Black Bamboo is my favorite bamboo but then again I love them all. This elegant versatile plant grows profusely looking great in gardens also being used in making of furniture, nappies and socks.
