Phyllostachys nigra, commonly known as black bamboo, is a striking evergreen species prized for its polished, jet-black canes. Initially emerging green, the culms transition to a deep ebony over two to three seasons, creating a beautiful contrast against the lush, lance-shaped green leaves. This running bamboo typically reaches heights of 25 to 35 feet. It thrives in fertile, moist, well-drained soil under full sun or partial shade, making it an ideal choice for privacy screens or focal points.
