Black bamboo - bargain?
A friend of mine bought some good quality mature plants to dress a TV
location and he has over-ordered so is offering me a very tall black bamboo (approx 6m) in a large tub. He wants £100 for it and since I'm looking for some attractive screening plants anyway, I'm tempted. The plant looks healthy enough and is being regularly watered. There are approx 20 stems, a few of which are already black while others are presumably in the process of turning black. Lots of healthy looking leaves. First question: is this a steal at £100? Second question: Is the black bamboo one of the varieties that roots like a mad thing all over the place if not shackled? Third question: Can I leave this out all year round? Last question: My soil is clay and it gets pretty soft. Will it die if it doesn't have good drainage? Thanks for your help. Simon |
