Bamboo bed creation

Post by Deane »

I am putting in a new raised bad 10 meters long 2 meters wide and I am going to try to create a bamboo wall of mixed colour ,well green ,yellow and black ,my question is would the bamboo's need to be all the same family like all Vivax or just the same sizes ? I was thinking Phyllostachys Nigra 'Punctata' ,Phyllostachys Vivax Aureocaulis and Phyllostachys parvifolia , I am trying to get them to intermingle with each other to get nice contrasts of colour ,people's thoughts would be much appreciated

Keep in mind that with black bamboo you'll always have lots of green already as it takes them quite some time to turn black.
