Description
Black Stripe, Phyllostachys nigra ‘Megurochiku’, is a very beautiful, rare collector species, timber size bamboo with brown to purplish-black grooves on each internode.

Grows up to 54 feet in height and will tolerate temperatures to 0 degrees F. Will tolerate some partial shade but best color and stripes will occur with more sun.

Growing Preferences
Henon Giant Bamboo is easy to grow in any average, well-drained but moist soil and full to mostly sun. During the first growing season after planting, water as needed to keep soil around the plants moist, but not soggy or wet. When established, most bamboo will tolerate periods of dry weather, however, will appreciate an occasional deep soaking if the leaves begin to curl from drought stress.
How To Grow Bamboo Plants Indoors
Black Stripe is a running bamboo, which means it spreads. Bamboo can be controlled in a small area (a normal city yard) simply by mowing or stepping on the young shoots. New shoots of some bamboo can also be used for culinary purposes and cooked, much like asparagus. Keep in mind that running bamboo only puts up new shoots for a short time each year and, when they are “shooting,” the new plants are very fragile and easy to destroy. Root pruning or installing Bamboo Root Barrier are other methods to control spread.

My ordered bamboo came in good order – too early to determine if plants will flourish yet –
I’ve kept them in their pots and inside in my large window as it’s still a bit cold here in the Northeast to plant even though these plants are cold resistant. Only thing I wish is if possible, that Wilson Bros. would delay shipment until May in order to protect the plants from cold, otherwise initially happy with plants.—————————————————We do offer delayed shipping normally, but it’s not available in the Spring…sorry. We are glad you are pleased with your purchase! Thanks for the review! Beth | WBG 🙂
