So I go outside in the dead of winter in New York to go for a walk an I notice that one of my distant neighbors has bamboo trees in their backyard and they looked healthy. Is this possible or am I delusional?
>>204150Possible. Bamboo is actually a type of grass that continues to grow for a few years, then flowers and dies. They stay green throughout winter.There is also a species of bamboo called "winter bamboo" that produces shoots during winter.
I tried growing bamboo at my old house, but it ended up just being more trouble than it was worth. You know how much it costs to spray for pandas every year?
some bamboo grows better in differet conditions, i have some growing around the back of my house and even if i wanted to couldnt get rid of it, shit grows like weeds, dont know the name for the type it is
>>204156Hah.

Yep, I have quite a bit of bamboo growing in both my front and backyard here in Seattle.
Bamboo will pretty much grow forever if you let it. It's in Guiness for largest/tallest kind of grass, I believe..
