Author's NotesPlanted this Bamboo in a micro climate (zone 5) in summer of 2011. It prospered and grew to a nice 3-4 by 3-4 feet size. During the winter of 2014-15 the temperatures reach near or below it's predicted lowest temperature. Waiting to see results. They survived but it took a while for them to grow back. Still growing in the summer of 2016.
