| Bambusa sp. New Guinea Black
*New
|
|
A samaller bamboo for gardens. It has very dark green culms that darken to a mottled black color with age.
The New Guinea Black is a good alternative to Bambusa Lako, which is sometimes too large for smaller gardens. The form is similar to Bambusa lako but grows to only about 1/2 the mature size.
Note: This is one of our new bamboos that we've imported into USDA quarantine. It was released to us in 2012 and will be available after 2013.
Will grow to 20' with 1" diameter culms in Florida. Minimum temp. 29 degrees F. Min USDA zone: 9a. Click to find your zone.

| Bambusa sp. Phu An Eyelashes
*New
|
|
One of our true novelty bamboos - sure to attract all plant-nerds.
The 'bait' is the incredible eyelashes that appear on each branch. Many bamboos have oral setae (hairs/bristles) that grow on or near the auricles (connecting area of the culm sheath and blade). This bamboo develops exaggerated fans of hairs giving them the appearance of false eyelashes.
Collected in Phu An (Vietnam) Bamboo Village by Dr. Cliff Sussman and sent to USDA quarantine, it was released in 2018 and is now test-growing at Tropical Bamboo Nursery.

Will grow to around 20' tall. Min USDA zone: 9b.

| Bambusa sp. Vietnam - Vietnamese Hedge Bamboo
*New
|
|
A wonderful bamboo for creating privacy, quickly. This Vietnamese import is similar to Bambusa malingensis (Seabreeze Bamboo) but matures somewhat smaller, overall.
Ideally planted 3' - 5' apart, in a row, to create a privacy hedge. It can be trimmed as a hedge or left to grow naturally.

| Bambusa suberecta - Jesse Durko Bamboo
|
|
A beautiful, relatively small-growing ornamental bamboo that has both variegated leaves and striated culms. For years, the identity of this Thai import had us stumped. Recently, I found a grower in Thailand who had it labeled as Arundinaria suberecta. The A.B.S. references that as a common mistake and corrects the species ID as Bambusa suberecta. Will grow to 20'-25' tall with thin 1" dia. culms. Somewhat bushy in form. It remains quite rare in the United States. Min USDA zone: 9b. Click to find your zone.

| Bambusa textilis gracilis - Graceful Bamboo
|
|
A beautiful all-green bamboo that's often planted in a row to create a privacy hedge or screen. Also makes a delicate focal point in the garden when planted as a single specimen. Foliage cascades gracefully with leaf tips pointing downward. This would be the ideal bamboo to plant as a screen in similar applications as Areca palms or ficus are used. For this type of application, they are planted in a row 3 to 5 feet apart. Spacing depends on how dense and how quickly you need your hedge.
About 23' - 27' tall with about 1" dia. culms.
Min. temp 15�F. Min USDA zone: 8b.

| Bambusa textilis purpurescens - Purple Textilis Bamboo
*New
|
|
A distinct variety of Bambusa textilis that develops purple/black culms.
The culms darken over a much longer period than Bambusa lako or Gigantochloa atroviolacea. Each new shoot takes up to a year after culm development to complete the darkening process. Sunlight, even filtered sunlight, is important to develop the dark culms. Any culms that are fully shaded will remain green.
Since 2012, we've made seven attempts to import this bamboo, each time the propagules not surviving the import process. Finally, in 2016, another attempt succeeded. Two offsets were collected at South China Botanic Garden and sent to USDA quarantine. These were cleared and released in 2018. They're now growing in our test field and propagation has begun in 2020.
UPDATE: We now have EIGHT, well rooted, single culm specimens in 3 gallon containers.
These are now available, first come first served. Any ordered for mail order will ship no earlier than the week of July 20th. We will not sell more than one to each customer/collector. When all eight are sold, there will be no more available until 2021.
Tropical Bamboo Nursery is donating 20% of the proceeds form the sale of these new releases to the Ned Jaquith Foundation to encourage and support bamboo research projects increasing the collective knowledge of bamboo.
UPDATE: As of July 30th, 2020, we have sold out of the original eight first release bamboos. We should have new inventory ready by the summer of 2021.
About 20' - 25' tall with about 1 1/2" dia. culms.
Min. temp 15�F. Min USDA zone: 8b.
