This is the perfect tree to plant for a boy!

The wonderfully statuesque, Oriental Black Bamboo (Phyllostachys Nigra), is a rare and unusual plant that will create a fantastic focal point in your garden. It's arching green canes turn lustrous black in their second or third year, while it's abundant glossy leaves remain evergreen.

It forms a clump, but unlike other varieties of bamboo, it isn't invasive and can be grown in a half barrel or very large container. Even though its origins are in China, it's fully hardy and the British winter won't harm it, making a very welcome and unexpected winter treat for visitors to your garden.
