Phyllostachys Nuda Nude Sheath Bamboo

Phyllostachys Nuda 'Nude Sheath' Bamboo

This is the most cold hardy of all phyllostachys bamboo,  surviving well below  zero, reportedly even as cold as -20°F with only some leaf loss.  This is the bamboo for all you Northerners!!  New culms1 emerge dark purple,  almost black.  Culms eventually fade to dark green.
