Phyllostachys nigra 'Hale' (Black Bamboo)

Phyllostachys nigra 'Hale', commonly known as Black Bamboo, is a tall and elegant plant that adds a touch of drama to any garden. With its jet-black canes and lush green foliage, this bamboo cultivar creates a striking contrast that is hard to ignore. 'Hale' is a clumping bamboo, meaning it will not spread aggressively, making it an ideal choice for smaller gardens or contained spaces. It grows up to 20 feet tall and 1.5 inches wide, creating a dense screen that provides privacy and shade.
