Henon Giant Gray Bamboo – Phyllostachys Nigra ‘Henon’ – 3 Gallon Pot (4-6′)

One impressive bamboo, its fast growth rate, cold hardiness to -5° F, feather-like leaf pattern, and upright habit make the Henon Giant Grey Bamboo one of the finest choices for a grove or true bamboo forest. This stately giant is a highly adaptable and cold hardy variety with very erect olive green new canes that turn to a handsome and attractive dusty gray color with age. The 4 to 5 inch diameter canes can soar up to 50 feet or more in height to form a magnificent grove. Adaptable to most planting sites, Henon thrives in full sun to part shade, grows well in average to poor soil, and is known for its high drought tolerance once established. The wood is of high quality and used by many craftsmen.

Note:  For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6a, where this Bamboo variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
