Very nice. I want one badly, but doubt they will grow here.

If you're in zone 6 or warmer, they should be able to grow fine as long as they are over-wintered very well. All I do is put a partially filled leaf bag over mine, and it re-emerges every year and I'm probably in an even colder climate than Missouri.

I'm in zone 6 upstate NY, specialize in growing temperate cold hardy bamboos(mainly phyllostachys) and starting to get into bananas. my picture website is http://www.flickr.com/photos/31489820@N02/ http://stevespeonygarden.blogspot.com/

"If by a liberal, they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind; someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions; someone who cares about the welfare of the people, their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, their civil liberties; someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicion that grips us; that is what they meant by a liberal, I am proud to be a liberal."

I've heard they don't like hot, though....and it gets VERY hot here.
