We sell most of our bamboos in planter bags instead of pots. The sizes listed here (in litres) refer to the volume of the planter bag, and thus the volume of soil and size of rootball. 3 litre bags - 120mm x 280mm (roughly equivalent to a 200mm pot in volume) The 'Typical height' listed next to each size is the approximate height of the plant at time of purchase. Planter bags uses less plastic than pots - the less plastic thrown into the environment the better. |

This is the most common black bamboo, and with good reason - the glossy black culms with green striations make this bamboo a fantastic feature plant.
The bottom couple of meters are usually free from foliage, giving this bamboo a very tidy and clean appearance. On the flipside, it also means that the Timor Black is not all that great as a screening plant, especially if screening is required at lower levels.
