Bissetii would be the best choice (see the Bissetii photo thread for pictures of it), followed closely by Rubromarginata. As you have discovered, Nuda really dislikes windy sites and will suffer leaf burn at temps in the teens if it is windy.

I would like to plant bamboo on my roofdeck. i have a series of recessed containers that are 20x20x12" deep. i'd like the plants to grow to about 8' high. given limited size for the roots and the winter exposure, does anyone have some recommendations for a variety that would be likely to survive?

thanks

Am I the only one who thinks this thread is being spammed by these advertisers' links, "soil" and "plants to grow"? Does anybody else care? All right, I'll sit back and chill out.
