Absolutely gorgeous as well as being multi-use. The shoots are edible but are more likely to be used for musical instruments or construction as they are excellent quality lumber.
Timor Black
One of the most outstanding ornamental species for the landscape. A great screen and a good edible shoot. The lumber is good enough for many uses…
Black asper
This is it……the legendary giant black bamboo. The shoots are of very good quality, and lumber is amongst the best that bamboos have to offer.
