Black Bamboo in Focus

Black Bamboo (Phyllostachys nigra)

Black Bamboo is truly a must have bamboo 

Phyllostachys Nigra - Black Bamboo

Like the Frog on our Website says "September is Black Bamboo Month".  This is actually a running bamboo but they can be contained in pots.  The picture on the right is our black bamboo in big red pots at Oscar's Restaurant in Essendon.  Our photo gallery on our website has other black bamboo in pots to give you planting and positioning ideas. 

We have a load of black bamboo on special right now (until sold out). Black bamboo start to shoot early Spring. So get your Black Bamboo NOW so you can see the new shoots popping up. The new canes start green then turn black over age.
We get calls just about everyday for this bamboo

Website Changes

We have been busy recently updating our website with a new set of Bamboo Socks and a new type of bamboo plant.  We have added Equestrian Socks to our range of bamboo fibre socks in the shopping cart.  You can now purchase these socks through the website.  As discussed previously, if you purchase 3 or more of these or other socks then the postage will be FREE.  These are long socks specially designed for equestrian riding boots to keep you warm. These also have all the anti-bacterial properties of bamboo fibre to reduce the smelly feet syndrome.

Bambusa Multiplex cv. Goldstrip or Goldstripe bamboo has also been added to the website.  This can be found in the Clumping bamboo section and also in the Best Screening category.  The website has all the statistics of this wonderful plant. Here is a summary for you:  Maximum height: 3 metres, Clump diameter: 1 metre. For more information Click on this Link to visit our Gold stripe bamboo page - Gold Stripe Bamboo.

Letter from a Customer

This was an email we received this month and thought it would be good to show other people about how you can utilise bamboo.  "We originally purchased 7 Nepalese Blue from you and planted them Oct 2012 along the side of our house. They have just about covered the boring fence in just 10 months! We couldn't be happier. I love looking out at the bamboo from my kitchen & dining room window - Thanks Lorelle".

We love these types of letters as they can give great planting ideas. We will be adding these pictures shortly to our photo gallery shortly so keep your eye on our website.
