I have a bamboo plant that is pretty big now, about 8 ft. tall. I am
moving soon, would like to move it to new location. If I cut it down
to a couple of ft. tall and dig it up, put in a big pot (letting it
re-establish itself in it) for the move, will it survive? Or should I
leave it uncut, wrap the root ball in something for the move?

Small, whippy culms transplant easier, don't need so
many roots to feed the rest of the plant. Cut the runner
on either side and repot the culm in peat until it recovers,
then plant it in its permanent new home.
