Default Golden bamboo - Not a single leaf!

Wait, it will either put up some new shoots of which a few will grow
to put out new leaves and then put a few leaves on any old culm
branches that or living, or it is dead. At this point I would not
feed -just topdress with compost.

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! =)
