should i pull the yellow leaves off?

TIA

My guess is that you're over-watering it by a long way. Bamboos don't
like to dry right out but they don't like being extremely wet, either.
Do you let it drain after it's been watered? I'd cut the watering
down to waiting until the soil or compost feels *just* moist and then
give it a drink, letting it drain, too. If it's outdoors, could it
have been caught by frost?

Thanks for the info
It is outside but in a sheltered spot
I don't think the frost has got to it

what about the leaves, should i pull the dead ones off?
