Well it gets about 30 or less here easily at night. and this specific bamboo is flourishing. You can see where they occassionally cut it back. The black japanese boo thought doesn't seem to have much to it for some reason. And I wont tell him :)

Hardiness map? What is that? And where do I goto on the Usda website to find it?

Most plant books have the USDA hardiness map or you could probably go to their website and it would be there.   The hardiness map shows the different temperature ranges for the US and maybe Canada. When you buy outside plants it is a good idea to look at their hardiness zone to see if they are compatible to your area.     Pat

I forgot to mention. I am shooting a 55#  @28" that is center. What size diameter do I need to cut? I have heard 3/8 but I dunno if that's a general rule. Will that work for 55# as I know they can handle quite a few different spines.
