By Mattie Knight


The call to going green has never been any louder as more people and organizations are committed to preserving the environment. Production efforts by human beings have led to depletion of natural resources making it necessary for reforestation. Blue henon bamboo tree continues to be among the best plant people resolve to for making the environment greener. Besides achieving the intended goal, it presents several advantages.

The plant belongs to the family phyllostachys nigra. It is aggressive and grows up to a height of thirty feet high. When the bamboo poles start to age, they start to change their color from the normal green one. A gray wax-like dust is formed on the nodes, which then change to sky-blue when the plant is growing in a shade. The name results from this change in color to sky-blue.

Mature poles vary in size and diameter. Some measure as high as six feet in diameter. Mature ones find use in the production of furniture in most states. It is the many benefits that the plant offers that make many people to be attracted to them. Caring and planting is simple and stress-free. They are highly resistant to frost and drought.

Blue henon bamboo plant has green leaves that create green, beautiful, and attractive scenery wherever it grows. The garden remains green all year round. Animals and people benefit from the shade provided by full-grown poles. In some settings they offer security and privacy. When planted around the home, they are very useful in acting as wind breakers.

Another important benefit is that there are several varieties for one to choose from. The various varieties have different characteristics, hence offer different effects. The ability to choose the effects is one of a kind and not easy to find in other plants. The fact that they are low maintenance makes them the perfect choice for someone who has never grown or cared for a plant before.

In order to achieve best performance, the growing conditions need to be watched carefully otherwise one risks getting a retarded plant. The first condition is availability of sufficient direct sunshine. Direct sunlight promotes growth and good health. The soil needs to be well-watered and moist most of the time. Additionally, soils should have a good level of fertility and slightly acidic.

Mature bamboo poles are usually very tall and huge, but the young plants so small. The growth rate is also very low but steady. Because they are bound to become big trees someday, one must plan the space carefully to account for the change in size over time. The suckers produced can also add to the population if not controlled by pruning.

There are many service companies that grow and sell seedlings to members of the public. Usually one can specify the variety and age of the plant they wish to plant when placing an order. Most companies offer a discount to clients who make bulk orders. Some also offer some tips to first-time planters.
