Default Re: Bamboo Project Updates, All Growers

You are probably correct, I tend to pamper my plants too much. My wife tells me that. I understand that bamboo and other plants (like my windmill palms) become more cold hardy as they mature. This will be the 2d winter for my bamboo so it should do better than last year. They have some of the same bamboo at the St Loius Zoo and Missouri Botanical Garden that is over 20 feet tall and it seems to stay green all year. It does stay a bit warmer in the city than it does out in the suburbs where I live, but only a few degrees differnce.
