Hi all,

We recently moved to suburban Philadelphia (zone 6 on the cusp of 7) from a zone 4 on the cusp of 3 climate, and I find that I have a glorious stand of bamboo at the back of our property. (snip)

See if your local library has a copy
of: "The Gardeners Guide to Growing
Temperate Bamboos".
ISBN 0-88192-445-8 for the hardcover
570-5 for the softcover
If not, you can get one from:

I read the library copy and liked it
so much I bought one.
