Java Black
Gigantochloa Atroviolacea

Similar to Timor Black they are neighbours  - grows 10 metres plus with near instant sooty black colouration to culms and a cream nodal colouration.  Poles are slightly rougher displaying a longer internode. Leafs are also larger.  Used for furniture and musical instruments.

Exclusive bamboo ... difficult to produce.  Grows well in sub-tropical or tropical areas but of the two Java will handle the cold better than Bambusa Lako (timor) and is also are better timber.

As with anything else special in life, its a little more expensive but again -worth it!  Great driveway statement in tandem, or grow alone as a stunning feature.  Very limited stock please order ahead for a good specimen.
