Note on Bamboo Hardiness:

Hardiness of Bamboo can depend on siting of the plant in the landscape. Protection from wind, especially winter wind, and mulching may help a variety thrive, that may otherwise be marginal. Severe winters may cause above ground die-back of any Bamboo, but new culms should appear in the Spring.
