Black Bamboo Phyllostachys nigra Height: 25 feet Spread: 5 feet Sunlight: Hardiness Zone: 6b Description: This popular variety is striking, with its tall, jet black culms and light, airy green foliage; will grow quite tall in ideal conditions; very impressive along borders or as a focal point, but must be controlled Ornamental Features Black Bamboo bark Photo courtesy of NetPS Plant Finder Black Bamboo's pointy leaves remain light green in color throughout the year. Neither the flowers nor the fruit are ornamentally significant. The black stems are very colorful and add to the overall interest of the plant. Landscape Attributes Black Bamboo is an herbaceous evergreen perennial with a rigidly upright and towering form. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other garden plants with less refined foliage. This is a high maintenance plant that will require regular care and upkeep, and is best cleaned up in early spring before it resumes active growth for the season. Gardeners should be aware of the following Black Bamboo characteristic(s) that may warrant special consideration; Photo courtesy of NetPS Plant Finder - Spreading Black Bamboo is recommended for the following landscape applications; - Accent - Mass Planting - Hedges/Screening - General Garden Use Plumline Nursery 4151 Logan Ferry Road Murrysville PA 15688 Planting & Growing Black Bamboo will grow to be about 25 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 5 feet. It tends to be leggy, with a typical clearance of 6 feet from the ground, and should be underplanted with lower-growing perennials. It grows at a fast rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 20 years. This plant performs well in both full sun and full shade. It prefers to grow in average to moist conditions, and shouldn't be allowed to dry out. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution. This species is not originally from North America. It can be propagated by division. This plant is not reliably hardy in our region, and is therefore not covered under our warranty.

New Cyperaceae and Poaceae Records from Alabama
Diamond, A.R. 2013. New Cyperaceae and Poaceae records from Alabama. Phytoneuron 2013-75: 1–18. Published 27 September 2013. ISSN 2153 733X NEW CYPERACEAE AND POACEAE RECORDS FROM ALABAMA ALVIN R. DIAMOND Department of Biological and Environmental Sciences Troy University, Troy, Alabama 36082 [email protected] ABSTRACT Seven species of vascular plants are reported as new to Alabama, three species excluded from the Annotated Checklist of the Vascular Plants of Alabama , and the Alabama Plant Atlas are documented as definite escapes, and new county records are included for two uncommon species. Those species reported as new for the state are Cyperus reflexus, Eustachys caribaea, Eustachys distichophylla, Polypogon interruptus, Phyllostachys nigra var. nigra, Phyllostachys nigra var. henonis, Phyllostachys sulphurea var. viridis, and Pseudosasa japonica . Phyllostachys aureosulcata, P. bambusoides, and P. meyeri are confirmed as escaped and naturalized in the state. New county records are reported for Coelorachis tuberculosa and Rottboellia cochinchinensis. KEY WORDS: Alabama, Cyperaceae, Poaceae, new distribution records New records for native and non-native grass and sedge species have accumulated for Alabama as a result of field studies. A complete set of the voucher specimens unless otherwise noted is housed at TROY, UWAL, and VDB. County and state records were determined using the Alabama Plant Atlas (Kral et al. 2013), the North American Plant Atlas (BONAP 2011), and searches of literature.

1991 J. Amer. Bamboo Soc. Vol. 8 No. 1 & 2 Proceedings of the Second International Bamboo Conference June 7-9, 1988, Bambouseraie de Prafrance, near Anduze, Gard, France sponsored by The American Bamboo Society and organized by The European Bamboo Society This volume of the Journal is devoted exclusively to papers presented at the Second International Bamboo Conference held at the Bambouseraie de Prafrance, France. Some 156 participants from 25 countries attended. They are listed with their addresses in the fol lowing pages. All three days of the conference were devoted to the presentation of papers during the morning and afternoon sessions. The evenings were filled with cultural and musical events most of which were related to bamboo. The three days immediately after the conference were also filled with entertainment and botanical tours. The papers are presented in the order in which they were given at the conference. All but four of the presentations at the conference were submitted to the Journal for the permanent record of the conference. Kenneth Brennecke V.

Extended Flowering Intervals of Bamboos Evolved by Discrete
Ecology Letters, (2015) doi: 10.1111/ele.12442 LETTER Extended flowering intervals of bamboos evolved by discrete multiplication Abstract Carl Veller,1,2* Numerous bamboo species collectively flower and seed at dramatically extended, regular intervals Martin A. Nowak1,2,3 and – some as long as 120 years. These collective seed releases, termed ‘masts’, are thought to be a Charles C. Davis2,* strategy to overwhelm seed predators or to maximise pollination rates. But why are the intervals so long, and how did they evolve? We propose a simple mathematical model that supports their evolution as a two-step process: First, an initial phase in which a mostly annually flowering popu- lation synchronises onto a small multi-year interval. Second, a phase of successive small multipli- cations of the initial synchronisation interval, resulting in the extraordinary intervals seen today. A prediction of the hypothesis is that mast intervals observed today should factorise into small prime numbers. Using a historical data set of bamboo flowering observations, we find strong evi- dence in favour of this prediction. Our hypothesis provides the first theoretical explanation for the mechanism underlying this remarkable phenomenon. Keywords Bamboos, biological clocks, masting, phenology.
