It does not do that well even down here unless you have a particularly mild
wet garden such as Penjerrick. Hardy Exotics would be able to point you in
the right direction.

If you want a reliable big fat 'un for your climate, try Phyllostachys vivax. There are green and yellow cultivars, some of which have a few stripes. P. parvifolia is another goer for coolish places, but it is sought after and less available. P. atrovaginata is perhaps the fattest at Kew, but I've never seen it for sale.

But will they sell it? ;-))

Only a couple of times and years ago. Ray's known him for many years and
his love of his plants is legendary! ;-)

I met him many years ago when he was setting up Hardy Exotics! The place
hadn't been open to the public very long and was still very much a work
in progress. I bet it has changed a bit since then? It looked an awesome
place even then.
