My Black Bamboo in a pot is looking decidedly like an Ex Bamboo after
this winter. Shall I leave it and will it shoot from below or are they
not hardy enough to stand that sort of winter?

Leave it, but make sure it is well watered. If it dries out (frozen
soil + cold winds) that could explain what has happened. It might still
shoot.

But will it leave? :-)
