Cold Hardy and Ultra-Chic
Why Black Bamboo Plants?
Defined by its unique, fast-growing appearance and cold-hardy strength, Black Bamboo is a well-curated choice for indoors or outdoors. And since it's low-maintenance and hassle-free, it's perfect for beginner gardeners.
But what sets the Black Bamboo apart? For starters, the Black Bamboo withstands temperatures down to 0 degrees, making it one of the hardiest Bamboo varieties available. Gardeners in far-North states can plant their Bamboo in pots, then bring them inside for the winter.
Best of all, this tree's striking appearance is second to none. When your tree arrives, the shoots will be green. By the second year, (or even sooner!) they'll transition to a flat black color. Lush, deep green foliage provides an interesting contrast that is incomparable to other bamboos. It's an amazing addition to any garden as a focal point or a central part of your home decor.
Plus, it's a fast, durable grower that will claim 10 to 12 feet each year, ultimately reaching 25 feet in height. And since it's easy to tame, you can trim it to the height you desire. Some of our customers order several and plant them 3 to 5 feet apart to create a privacy screen!
Why Trees.com is Better
Effortlessly versatile and lush - is there anything better? We grow your Black Bamboo in their own containers from the very beginning, so you'll get a full, healthy root system that establishes quickly and explodes with new growth without all the work. More roots mean more canes that are healthy, thick and vigorous.
Other nurseries stock bare-root (if they even have the Black Bamboo at all). But when you order your Black Bamboo from Trees.com, you get a fast, easy grower that's ready to last year after year...without any hassle on your part.
The only catch is that you have to get your Black Bamboo before they're gone. Order your own Black Bamboo for instant luxe looks and easy grow today!

Beautiful Black Bamboo.
We used to grow black bamboo trees in front of our home in Miami. They were tall and beautiful. We've missed them so much since we moved to Ocala. We hope this second attempt is successful, since the one we bought last winter didn't survive.
I ordered 2 black bamboo
I ordered 2 black bamboo trees and only one was delivered because of something happened at the delivery service. I called Trees.com the next day. Got great service and followup. I was told a replacement would be sent immediately and it was received today in good condition as the first one was. So far, I have bought close to 10 trees/plants from them within 6 months and they all were received in great condition and they are doing well. Customer service on the phone has always be very good. Would highly recommend them.
Black bamboo
Great looking when it arrived and never missed a beat when it was planted
Quality
The black bamboo is gorgeous. It arrived healthy and happy and has already grown. Thanks!
Great Company!
Initially the first bamboo was sent and it looked sickly and we tried to revive it. Once we talked to the company, and sent photos, they sent a lively replacement. Great experience with Fast Growing Trees. They either send great products or hold to their replacement commitment!
