Default Golden bamboo - Not a single leaf!

hello, i'm brand new to gardening.

I bought a phyllostachys aurea, golden bamboo from bnq, knocked down from £40 to a tenner, it has absolutely no leaves, i have pruned off the dead parts, should i clip off all the branches or leave them on? i know this is a fairly hardy bamboo but can it survive with no leaves?? i gave it a weak sugar solution when in the pot, it is now planted in the ground and been fed (miracle grow). what can i do to help it?

any advice would be very much appreciated! =)
