Can 8 foot tall Black Bamboo be successfully
grown in pots?

Advice will be gatefully appreciated.
=====================================


Yes it can and will thrive if you pay attention to watering and feeding.
Use a large pot -even for a small plant and ensure good drainage but never
allow the plant to dry out. Feed regularly with a high nitrogen fertiliser
and the occasional balanced feed.


What would a high nitrogen fertiliser that I could buy in a normal DIY
store or garden centre ?
