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?

Did it flower last year? If so it may well be dead. That's what they
do. That's what happened to mine, in the ground, a few years ago.
