I knew that the bamboo that I ordered (clump-type) is marginal in my
area (zone-6) (as warned in their web site). But I ordered anyway. I
plant them last fall, and they all died during the winter. The lesson
is: If the web site says that the bamboo is only marginal in our area,
we may not want to try it.

Don't give up my top killed clumpers are showing a few shoots now in all this rain
zone 6
