How deep are its roots? If they go down five feet they should hit water in
south Florida.

Thanks, Rick

Hey Rick,

I could be wrong, but I don't know of any bamboo that drops that deep
except for some of the more vigorous runners when they hit a barrier.
They generally hover near the surface.

Maybe if you heavily mulch it and give it as much water as you can get
away with.. it might do alright. You do have pretty high humidity
don't you? Or are you not in THAT part of flo-da?
