Phyllostachys nigra
'Boryana'

Height: Up to 5 metres

Common Names: Bory Bamboo, Tiger Bamboo

This slender, arching bamboo is another excellent specimen plant. Its golden canes splashed with brown, black or dark-purple blotches and its fine, flowing, pale leaves look best against a dark background. We like to cut out the old canes to call attention to the exotic markings.
