Re: cold-hardy bamboos


Catriona asked, "Can anyone recommend some cold-hardy bamboos that would be good substitutes for Black bamboo (P.
Nigra) and golden bamboo (P. Aurea), both hardy to Zones 7-10?"

Hi, Catriona!

Do you care if it's running or clumping? For what "cold hardy" zone? BTW, I'm growing aurea sulcata in a marginal zone 5b/6. It's been slow going, but is now firmly entrenched and sends up about 6-7 new shoots each year.
