From about 64 cm to exactly 364 cm in one week. Phyllostachys nigra is the fastest growing plant in my garden. Last week it was just over knee high. That's around 43 cm or 1.4 feet of growth each day. I originally had planned on daily updates, but I got distracted with our party preparations and other plants that needed to be watered and transplanted. Maybe daily photos would be boring, anyway. Let's check it again in a week. I once was telling a gardener friend from Torino about how fast my black bamboo grows, and he said "Yeah, I know. And it is just as fast running along horizontally, so watch out!" It turns black in its second year. I think this next week could be less exciting as numbers go. 😂 #fastgrowingbamboo #phyllostachysnigra #blackbamboo #mezzogiardiniere #phyllostachys #bamboo #bamboocanes #culms #renatoronco #gardeningfriends (presso La Macchina Fissa) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd5v-EqoyH5/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

There is an ugly fence around the property, but much of it is hidden, and the views over or through it aren't bad, as flat countryside goes. These buildings in the distance help. #phyllostachysnigra #blackbamboo #lamacchinafissa (presso La Macchina Fissa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcV8__LIPRw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Phyllostachys nigra (Black Bamboo) today’s #oneadayplant . In recent years the popularity of this bamboo has waned slightly as many species and cultivars of Fargesia have been offered, often at a more favourable price, manageable size and with better pot-growing potential. . Perhaps previous overexposure hasn’t helped them too. Every magazine, chic courtyard and planted container arrangement seemed to feature this bamboo for some years. . Some things to consider. It is as good a plant as it always was. Hardy, evergreen and relatively costly even for a plant with just a few culms. (They are culms/stalks when on the plant and canes when cut). Like most bamboo, they aren’t great in pots for several reasons. Water and space to grow are two big reasons, but often overlooked is the need to fix silica to create stems. Bamboo can do this by processing their own fallen leaves. In pots, the lack of surface area makes it difficult to access enough fallen leaves. . Phyllostachys nigra can produce large, thick culms, but rarely does in the UK. In fact, few species ever do in the UK. I have climbed up individual culms of P. aurea in Italy for example. They are black as the name suggests and if you clear some lower leaves, can make impressive stands, especially in winter if snow is around the base. . Like all bamboo, a fool plants them too close to a building without providing adequate root guard protection. This can be purchased specifically for the job. Better to just plant well away from buildings and neighbouring boundaries. Though it isn’t anywhere near as running a species as some Phyllostachys, it can still form a substantial stand several metres wide in time. . A good plant in the right spot and so much better in the ground than scorched and underwhelming in a pot. . #phyllostchys #phyllostachysnigra #bamboo #plants #culms #canes #plantingdesign #evergreen #grasses #gardens #landscape #thoughtfulplanting #japaneselook #iplantsman #asianplants #gardening #gardeningtips #gardeningadvice (at Crowborough, East Sussex) https://www.instagram.com/p/CH24IFzAlq-/?igshid=1pxvynh1n8akq

April leaves: Phyllostachts nigra; black bamboo. This bamboo from Hunan Province, China, is slow at first, but with lots of moisture can take off. Canes are green for a couple years and then turn black. It can grow up to 25 meters tall (84 feet). Watch where you put it, as it spreads like you wouldn't believe! #leaves #blackbamboo #invasiveplants #phyllostachysnigra #gardening #lamacchinafissa #chineseplants #giardini #mezzogiardiniere (presso La Macchina Fissa) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwJYS2SBILq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pvfu6t6ovvs7
