Default Moving Bamboo

My bamboo has died after moving it will it grow back?

I'm assuming from your post that the above-ground part looks dead. That's
not uncommon when moving bamboo. If you've kept the rhizome from drying out
it may still be very alive.

If the underground rhizome is alive it may continue growing, and you won't
know for sure for a year or more. It may take a year before it presents new
shoots. From U of Fl: "The first year it sleeps; the second year it creeps,
the third year it leaps."

JimR's rule of life #7: Never bet against bamboo growing.

Good luck and regards --
