Black
Bamboo |
| 'Phyllostachys
nigra' |
| A beautiful
tall arching bamboo with polished ebony-black mature
canes and dark green leaves. The slender, elegant,
canes, which are dark green for the first two to three
years, look perfect in a contemporary, minimalist
garden. To prevent the plant from colonising adjacent
plantings restrict the roots using a rigid,
non-perishable barrier. |

Phyllostachys
Bamboo |
| 'Phyllostachys
vivax f. aureocaulis' |
| A spectacular
large bamboo with rich yellow canes and mid-green
leaves. The canes have unusual green markings giving the
appearance that they have been randomly painted by a
mischievous child. To guarantee success grow in a site
protected from high winds, where the colourful canes can
be seen throughout the year. |

Arrow
Bamboo |
| 'Pseudosasa
japonica' |
| Tall,
vigorous bamboo with olive canes maturing to pale beige
and dark green oblong leaves. Arrow bamboo is one of the
most wind and shade tolerant varieties. Broadly upright
in habit, as long as the roots are surrounded with a
non-perishable barrier it makes an attractive screen or
windbreak for moist, well-drained areas of the garden. |

Golden-groove
Bamboo |
| 'Phyllostachys
aureosulcata f. spectabilis' |
| Tall bamboo
with green-grooved, golden-yellow canes, which turn
bright red in sun, fading to darker yellow with age.
This colourful variety looks great alongside the
ebony-black canes of the black bamboo, Phyllostachys
nigra. This aptly named coloured-stemmed bamboo is
one of our 'highly recommended plants'. |

Palm
Bamboo |

palmata' |

vigorous medium-sized bamboo with green canes and
mid-green leaves. This robust bamboo is best used as
groundcover and for clipping into low moulds. It should

control, since it can be extremely invasive and hard to
eradicate once established. |
