Description

The Black Asper Bamboo, scientifically known as Dendrocalamus asper cv. 'Hitam', is a stunning giant ornamental bamboo renowned for its dramatic black culms and lush green foliage. Originating from Indonesia, this clumping bamboo species boasts the fastest growth rate among large bamboos and produces sweet, edible shoots. It thrives in tropical or subtropical climates, requiring full sun and moist, well-drained soil. Perfect for large landscapes, it adds a touch of sophistication with its upright, slightly weeping tops. However, it needs ample space due to its large size and fast growth, making it ideal for those with expansive gardens.
