Does bamboo grow in cold climates?
I'm in Colorado. Does it grow here?
I've also heard that it can grow out of control and take over a yard? http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lawn_Grass/ Grassroots ( no email - spoofed ) |

Sure there are cold hardy species of bamboo.
Take over a yard? Some can take over acres!!!! "Grass roots" wrote in message ... I'm in Colorado. Does it grow here? I've also heard that it can grow out of control and take over a yard? http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Lawn_Grass/ Grassroots ( no email - spoofed ) |

I don't know which zone you are. Bamboo is growing well in my zone-6
yard (northern New Jersey). But they are the kind that spreads (actually they spreaded from my neighbor property). Luckily, they are at the edge of my lawn. I can easily control them by mowing over their shoots in spring when the shoots come up in area that I don't want them to be there. I can also control them by simply cutting them down and use the cans to construct structure for climbing vines. I tried the non-spreading type (the clump type) in another part of my yard. But they are "really marginal" in my zone, and they all died in winter. Seem like the spreading type is the only kind that can surrive in zone-6. Jay Chan |
