Hello,
your black bamboo PhyllostacheousNigra should shoot in your spring as the
waether warms sometimes you get another round of shoots at the end of
summer{these 1s r not as vigorous}if you want an all over black appearance
xpose the plants to full sunlight this gets rid of the green in the
culms{caution over xposure will damage the culms in hot dry weather, keep
well watered


sincerely your
