The Advantages Of Blue Henon Bamboo Tree

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.

The bamboo poles vary in diameter, but can reach up to six inches in diameter. Such a diameter provides good material for the construction of furniture in many countries. Besides this benefit, the plant also offers several other benefits that makes it attractive to many people. First, it is very easy to plant and care for. The plant is resistant to both frost and drought, which means that one has little to worry about during harsh weather.

Blue henon bamboo plant forms beautiful and attractive scenery because of its green leaves. The garden in which it is planted appears green throughout. When they are fully grown, they offer a good and relaxing shade to animals and people. Some people grow them near the fence so that they can offer privacy as well as security besides 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.

There are specific growing conditions that make growth optimal. These conditions should be achieved to avoid retardation in the tree. First, plenty of direct sunshine must be ensured most times of the day. It fastens growth and ensures health. The moisture content of the soil must also be high, especially within a few weeks of planting. Acidity of the soil should be moderate while fertility must be high.

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.
