Thanks needmore ,Kimmei does not have it and Paul seems to have sold his nursery to Bowden which have very few bamboos ,I will try the French bamboo forumneedmore wrote:Try the French bamboo forum with your question, did you check Kimmei or Paul Whitaker's nursery?

Thanks needmore I am a collector and have all the nigra that I know of ,there is not a nigra black with yellow stripes that I know of ,shame as it looks fantastic ,the company that has it also has some other nice rare bamboos e.g. Phyllostachys edulis 'mixta' ,Phyllostachys bambusoides 'kawadana'and Phyllostachys iridescens 'heterochroma' but with the iridescens at €500 +it's not cheapneedmore wrote:I think that Bambusoides are heat lovers so maybe you can find the look you fancy among the nigra forms?
If I remember correctly the price for bambusoides mixta was quite a bit cheaper when newfi first offered it.Deane wrote:Thanks kreos someone else said this one on Facebook good find but at €123 for 7.5L it's a bit pricey but that could be as it's so rarekreos123 wrote:http://www.newfishop.fr/en/phyllostachy ... 120cm.html
That would make it hardier than P. aureosulcata. I think he's giving you a sales pitch rather than facts.Deane wrote:I was was pleasantly surprised to receive a massage on Facebook from the person that introduced the bamboo to Europe from China and it seem very hardy ......we introduce this bamboo 4 years ago; He came from north China ( sha anxi) and it's the most frost resistant of the P; bambusoides family He is more hardy than -20°c without damage!
He is not selling to me tho ,he is going to come to uk for a visit to me and bring some ,not that I would be able to test it tho as the lowest we have had for years was -7 and that was the big freeze ,maybe need to send some to Scottish bamboo to testjohnw wrote:That would make it hardier than P. aureosulcata.
