Giant Gray Henon

Phyllostachys nigra 'Henon'

Height: 65′
Diameter: 3.5″
Cold Resistance: 0F
Light: Sun to partial shade

With beautiful, giant, gray canes Henon is one of my favorite bamboos.  It is one of the giants and is easy to spot from a distance with it’s ghostly, gray look.  When mature the canes can be almost 4 inches in diameter.  My largest grove is beside the pond in a prime location with very rich soil.
The timber is strong and high quality with very straight, upright culms.  It is ideal for crafts and construction.
