New canes emerge green and turn ebony black within 6 months to a year or so, ultimately reaching 15 feet tall in cooler climates and up to 30 feet in height in warmer climates. The culm sheath have wavy blades with prominent oral setae, auricles and ligules. The handsome green leaves contrasts beautifully with the dark canes. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePlease Note: \u003c\/span\u003eThe foliage of Black Bamboo has been damaged at temperatures below 10 degree Fahrenheit under high wind conditions.

It will tolerate some shade but the culms are not as erect in shaded sides as some other species and tend to weep or arch over. Therefore, the more sun the better. We suggest 6 hours direct sunlight a day for best performance. Black Bamboo appreciate a moist but well-drained loose soil of average fertility. 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 distress. If your planting site is especially dry or will be exposed regularly to dry wind consider planting in a more protected area or maybe consider the \u003cspan\u003eSpotted Leopard Bamboo\u003c\/span\u003e.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow To Grow Bamboo Plants Indoors\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBlack Bamboo 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.
