Narrative
The black bamboo is one of the important cultivated species in Japan, altough it is smaller than the other timber sorts, seldom growing over 20ft and 1 1/2in in diameter. The culms when young are covered with dark brown to purple spots which spread as it grows older until the whole culm becomes dark brown, almost black, except just below the nodes, where there is an ash-gray line. This dark color at once distinguishes the species from all other Japanese bamboos. This is one of the hardiest forms grown in England and is certainly one of the most decorative kinds. The uses of this species are limited to the manufacture of furniture, numerous household articles, and fancy fishing poles, for all of which these black bamboos are peculiarly fitted.
