The other poster may well be right. Water lots. It's a little unusual to
have substantial wind burn without cold weather. The leaves you described
will likely die, but don't cut the culm. It may releaf this year or even
next year. If there are no leaves and watering doesn't help, you may have
lost the plant. The only people I have known who lost bamboo plants lost
them in the first year due to underwatering.

Hi Everyone,

I purchased a Phyllostachys aurea a week ago which I have planted in a
large container.
The last couple of days we have had severe winds where I live,and
although i tried my best to protect my bamboo from the wind it has
suffered windburn.A lot of the leaves are curled up,drooping and dry
looking - its looking a bit sorry for itself

Is there anything I can do to help it recover - or will the leaves die
and drop off anyway?

Thanks in advance for any advise
