Full Sun Application Recommendation

Post by Lot 112 »

I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation for a bamboo(preferably a clumping variety) that is suited for full sun.

My P.Nigra's leaves are scorched & rather unsightly(IMHO) a stark contrast from when it was initially planted. I was unaware that they are not recommended for full sun applications.

How big do you want it to get?

Most (not all) of the big bambusas do just fine in full sun and would grow just fine in most parts of LA.

If you're specifically looking for a black one, try bambusa lako.
