Black Bamboo is heavenly.

I had admired
Black Bamboo for severals years. It was around
$100.00. Then my neighbor found some at a nusery near Tuscaloosa: it was $85.
Imagine the delight I experience, when I saw Black Bamboo list on the Woodlanders
website. I ordered it in March and planted it in a pot and placed it on our patio.. New shoots are coming up.Waiting to see if the canes will get blacker. Anyway it's a fun plant. I may divide some next year and plant at the edge of some woods, and see how far and wide the colony spreads.
In fact, I ordered 15 plants from www.woodlanders.net/. The prices are very good and the plants are doing swell, in spite of our drought, which is hopefully over. You may order
from Woodlanders during the cool months of the year.
