Hello
Can you 'prune' a bamboo to shorten it and will the leaves grow from the top
again the next year? Or is it better to 'thin it out by cutting a few canes
back each year so that they grow up in stages over the years (The canes
provide something of a screen so dont want to cut them all down in one go)

Does anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks for any advice

Rosemary
