Pseudosasa Japonica
(Sieb. & Zucc. ex Steud.) Makino ex Nakai
The reasonable height (3 to 4 M)
and compactness of this bamboo
mean that it is adapted to small
gardens. The thin stalks of this plant were
traditionally used for arrow-making.

This is without doubt one of the most attractive decorative bamboos but it must be cultivated with great care.

Phyllostachys reticulata
(Ruprecht) K. Koch
Synonymes : Phyllostachys bambusoides Sieb. & Zucc., Phyllostachys mazelii Rivière & C. Rivière.
This bamboo is one of the most common here at La Bambouseraie. The optimal soil and climatatic conditions here mean that it has aready reached its maximum height of 20 metres. The robustness and flexibility of its culms make it ideal for use in construction (scaffolding) and, once cut into strips, the culms can also be used to make household objects. Two horticultural forms can be seen during the visit: ’CASTILLONII’, with golden yellow stalks and green stripes, and opposite,’CASTILLONI-INVERSA’.

Phyllostachys nigra
(Lodd. ex Lindley) Munro
Its green stalks which turn black after one or two years if exposed to sunlight have made this elegant bamboo very popular. It was probably the first temperate bamboo introduced to Europe (in approx.1823).
The cultivated variety ’BORYANA’ results in a very different plant whose stalks are three times as big both in diameter and length, and the blue-green colour with brown patches makes it unique. Phyllostachys nigra (Lodd. exLindley) Munro var. HENONIS (Mitford)Stapf ex Rendle is just as impressive a wild variation.
