I was in Toronto a couple of years ago and at a bonsai store I was at they
had some bamboo that was growing wild outside the store. Bamboo like other
plants has different verities some will survive in -30 C weather.

I am looking for a bamboo to use as a backdrop for my pond
(http://www3.sympatico.ca/b1wmah56/pondpage.htm#General).
I would like a fairly tall, dense variety to act as a screen for the
filter
setup that is/will be installed behind and to the left of the pond.
Any suggestions for a non-running bamboo, suitable for
Mississauga/Toronto,
Canada.
TIA
