Hello all, gardening in Cincinnati, OH, z 6a and settled on trying Fargesia rufa clump bamboo along the wooded area of my backyard. I have read that it is pretty shade tolerant, especially for the high canopy situation I have and light dappled shade. Excited about its promise for not being invasive in an area where I've removed Lonicera mackii and garlic mustard for about 5 years. Anyone have more info about Fargesia; also has anyone found whether it is deer resistant (or as much as anything can be!) ???

Thanks.
