Default Bamboo fence

I want to hear opinions on whether or not I can grow a 600' long bamboo wind
fence where I live.

I live in Toquerville, Ut. Elevation 3700'. Freezing temps in winter down
to about 15 degrees. They say 100 days or so of 32 of less per year. After
living here a year, I'd agree. Summer gets up to just a bit over 100.

I have consulted different books and manuals, and get different zone
numbers, so I'm not sure which zone I live in.

The soil here is sandy, just like sand dunes, with lava rocks mixed in. I
have an area where I would love to put a LOT of bamboo, and it could just
grow crazy. I have a front end loader to use as an edger. I have
irrigation water that costs me $100 a year.

Do you think it would grow in this climate?

Steve
