The need for beautification of the environment has never been greater especially with calls from companies and entities to go green. Reforestation has been made necessary by the large scale production efforts that deplete Mother Nature of its resources. In an effort to go green, many people have found themselves settling for blue henon bamboo tree as result of the numerous benefits it presents.

The family in which the plant belongs is called phyllostachys nigra. Major defining characteristics are height and aggressiveness. A typical, full grown plant can stand as high as thirty feet. Aging leads to a change in the normal green color to sky-blue coloration. The change starts at the nodes when a gray wax-like dust starts being deposited at the nodes. The name transformation in color of the poles is partly responsible for the name.

The diameter of bamboo poles varies with age and mature ones have diameters that are as wide as six inches. Furniture can be manufactured from poles of such large diameters. Many people are attracted to the plant because of this benefit and many others. The first benefit is the ease with which it can be planted and cared for. Additionally, it has good ability to survive 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 benefit of this species of bamboo is that people have a wide variety of species to choose from. Different species have different characteristics that make them suitable for different functions and settings. This feature is usually hard to get in other kinds of trees. People who are trying plants for the first time can find them very good because they are low-maintenance.

The tree requires specific growing conditions for it to perform well. First, the amount of sunlight in the area must be abundant. The area should be receiving direct sunlight from the sun without anything to block it. Natural radiation is preferred. In addition, the soil should be sufficiently moist and well watered. The soil should also be fertile and slightly acidic.

Young trees are usually very small, but they grow huge over time. As such, one must plan the space properly keeping in mind that the tree will grow big and produce other plants at its base. However, one can control how many young plants grow at the base by uprooting those that are not wanted.

The public can buy these plants from many service companies out there. When placing an order, one can specify the age, variety, and size of the tree they want. Tips may be offered by the seller together with the plant during delivery. Bulk purchasing can earn one some discount on orders they place but not all companies provide such benefits.
