The black leaf-leaved bamboo, also known as Zhu ru, black bamboo, Bambusa nigra or Phyllostachys puberula, is a very attractive and important variety in the bamboo family. It originated in China but is now cultivated in many parts of the world, including Europe. It is particularly popular for its amazing properties. It is a fast-growing species of bamboo, reaching heights of up to 15 metres. It is suitable as an ornamental plant, but it is also used in various industries. Its main feature is its appearance: each stalk is chocolate brown to black in colour, giving it a very aesthetic appearance.

One of the main areas where Black Locust is used is in the manufacture of furniture. Its wood is strong, resistant to insects and mould infestation. This makes it ideal for making outdoor furniture such as benches, tables or pergolas. Black locust is also used in gastronomy, specifically in Chinese and Japanese cuisine, where its shoots are eaten as vegetables. In the construction industry, bamboo is often used as an alternative to wood for building houses, bridges, fences and other structures, especially in Asia. It can also be found in products such as flooring, picture frames, toys and even musical instruments. The natural beauty and strength of this material make it a very raw wood material.
