For over 15 years it has proven suitable and dependable for our climate and conditions. Canes range from green to subtle gold, and average 14 to 16 feet tall when planted in a container. In sun or shade, this bamboo will give you dense and effective privacy throughout the year. Mature height in containers is usually about 14 to 16 feet.

Black Bamboo makes a tall, upright and striking evergreen privacy screen. Its new culms emerge green in spring and gradually turn black over several years. Thus there is an attractive contrast of light and dark canes as it matures. Black Bamboo is a focal point of any garden with its unique combination of colors and textures. Phyllostachys nigra, USDA Zones 7 - 10, Mature height - usually about 15 to 20 feet in containers.
CUSTOM DUG TIMBER BAMBOO (limited availability)
Priced starting at $100 - Most are now 20 feet or taller.
Some are available planted in pots for $50 - about 8 feet tall now.
Timber Bamboo can be recognized from afar by its size, height, and elegant style of foliage. Its smooth green canes are fast-growing and strong. Timber Bamboo has been present in Oregon for over 100 years, the canes prized for craftwork and woodworking, the bamboo for its ability to screen even very tall unwanted outlooks. Mature expected height in containers is 18 to 30 feet.
BAMBOO PLANTED IN 5 GALLON POTS - $50 SPECIAL.
GOLDEN CROOKSTEM might be the most captivating bamboo because of its tendency to have some canes that zig-zag at the base. New canes develop with a tinge of burgundy coloration, especially in sunlight. Gradually the canes become a deep golden color with cascades of dark green leaves. Golden Crookstem is robust, withstanding strong winds and cold temperatures, getting about 10-16 ft tall in a container. It is the hardiest, most adaptable bamboo with golden canes. Phyllostachys aureosulcata 'Aureocaulis' (A running/screening bamboo) USDA Zones 5-10 These are now 6 to 9 feet tall.
BISSETII Whether you want to screen a hot tub, deck, or the neighbors, the dark green canes and thickly growing foliage make Bissetii one of our most asked-for bamboos for this purpose. It grows fast and has densely clustered, almost entirely windproof canes. Bissetii is easy to grow, low-maintenance, upright, evergreen and one of the most resilient bamboo varieties. When established, Bissetii Bamboo is tolerant of cold, heat, and drought. Average mature height is 12 to 16 feet when planted in containers (depending on conditions). Phyllostachys bissetii USDA Zones 5-10 (very limited availability - they are about 6 to 8 feet tall now)
