It would most likely recover from only mild frosts, however you would experience a lot of leaf drop & leaf yellowing and do risk losing the plant altogether so I dont think its worth the risk. If you particularly want a black variety then Java Black is definately more suitable for colder areas. However, it will not provide the "thin" screen you desire. Once again, I would recommend Gracilis for your application. It grows to 6-8m tall, is very hardy, doesnt mind frost conditions and forms a nice, tight, dense & upright screen. We usually suggest planting at 1 to 1.5m spacings for privacy screening effect. If you would like to email me with details of the size & number of plants you require and a delivery adress I will be more than happy to prepare a quote for you. Thank you.

I was looking at the timor black and was wondering if this would be suitable. I am wanting something that is no taller than 10 metres and tall and thin as its a small yard so dont want it to be too wide a plant. We are creating a tropical garden so are looking at these plants for the back of the flower beds against the back fence to plant other plants in front off the bed. Is this the correct type or do you recommend something different? Thanks. Toni Hi,

What colour were the culms, how tall was it growing etc? Or perhaps have a look at our full stock list on our website and go through the photos to see if you can see the species you are after.
