I live in ft collins, co. but i have planted bamboo in my yard and so far each year they have come back...... bamboo can tolerate winter as in Japan.

As long as your temp doesn't drop below zero very much or for very long they will keep. Once they are tall and thick bunches it will be harder to kill. After last winter I'd say no, but most winters(I'm in VA) aren't too bad.

I'm in Cleveland , mine made it through a brutal winter and is still green . Other bamboos i have turned brown and will have rege4nerate from the ground up

I live in Massachusetts. The first year I grow them in a pot inside. The next spring I plant them outside and they do great! Once they are in the ground they are very hearty. This past winter they were completely buried in the snow. After the snow melted away they just bounced back up as if nothing happened.

I'm sure it will if it's planted in the ground. I planted mine in pots an of course the roots froze this winter, my mistake. Bamboo is typically very resilient so I'm sure it would do fine once established in the ground.

I believe that this plant will take as low as -10. If it does get frost bite I would think that the roots will survive. Does it hit that temp? Pierre...

I'd say you will have no problem. I'm in Chicago, and last winter was absolutely terrible. I have 2 of these and they survived just fine. Mine are in a corner protected from wind however

I am in the upstate of SC, zone 7 and we were below 10 degrees several days this winter. I had 1st year kiwi in the ground this past winter. I lost one, the others have come up beautifully.

I'm in zone 7B/8A and I've had some planted in the yard for about 4 years. Even after a winter where temps got down to the single digits, they always come back and reach 10-15 feet tall by mid summer. Zone 9 they should grow like crazy.

I grow the. In pa. Planted them in late May ,cool nights kept them from growing ,now they are moving .I think if you have a spot that gets some shade during the late afternoon they will take the heat

We live in southern New Jersey. We bring out bat leaf into the garage in the winter. It lives in a planter on our porch from April thru December. We are in zone 7.

I have a potted one indoors that is beautiful. The other one is outside, and it's too early for me to tell if it will come back well from the winter. I'm in Atlanta, GA.

I'm in CA too. I have mine in a pot that I move to a warmer area when it gets below 35 at night. I forgot to move it one night a few weeks ago when it hit 30 degrees and I've been struggling to keep it alive ever since. If it survives, I will put it inside under a grow light next Winter. Not sure what the plan is when/if it gets bigger.

I'm in central NJ, and mine has put on huge, lanky growth 1st year summer (4' unbranched mostly-sessile shoots). We'll see how it likes zone 6A winters.

they are not annuals, they said that they should be around for 12 years but I think that's for at least zone 7 or above. Our zone 6 is too cold for them already.

Well, I'm in zone 9 and it said zones 7-9 so I would say yes. Mine is a 2-3 yr old tree though and it's doing beautifully!

I just purchased this plant myself, but I live in zone 10 and it is advertised as requiring a warm climate. I would check on other websites that give you more detailed general care instructions to find your answer. Check the other sites first before ordering, but my plant from Amazon is very healthy and growing well, and the price was quite good.

Hi Pattie, you got some great answers from some of our great customers. I really appreciate your question and I also appreciate their answers. You can do a Google search for "what vegetables grow in hardiness zone 4". This will give you some great information. Especially look for a site called VeggieHarvest which has some very helpful charts of planting seasons for the different hardiness zones. Wishing you good gardening.Not all of our seeds will grow well in that zone but enough of them will grow that it will still be a really good investment to buy our seeds pack.

Mine were fine in zone 5 out in the open. They are blooming now. If you are concerned, make sure they get some protection with mulch or plant in an area near your house where it is usually warmer.

Our temps here in Mo are still swinging dramatically. 70s one day, 50s the next and night temps still dipping in the upper 30s and 40s -if I would order them now I'd go the pot route. If you live in the South and winter temps don't go below 50, I'd put right in the ground. I planted mine in large (very large) decoratine pots and moved into the garage over winter -our winter temps run in the minus temps and only the strongest survive. My friends who had these plants live in the deep South so I assumed they prefer and thrive with the warmer temps dspite their claim that they are Northern hardy Our temps here in Mo are still swinging dramatically. 70s one day, 50s the next and night temps still dipping in the upper 30s and 40s -if I would order them now I'd go the pot route.
