| Usually only when the temps drop below 0 would the boos look this bad, but I think Kudzu is right and the drought did it. All my boos look like this, I hope they survive and recover. :) I always thought bamboo was indestructible!
P. Nigra (henon), not even for my zone, lol! Takes FOREVER to spread, this was planted in 2002.

| Hard to say from the pics, but as CJ said it might be gone. However, I thought I lost a bamboo to the drought, but dug it up anyway and potted the remains. I watered it constantly, and today saw that it has new growth...after looking dead since January, so I wouldn't give up hope yet. Get water to it as soon as possible. Good Luck Kt |

| Also, I'd keep an eye on that guinea...she looks suspicious. From the pic, it looks like she turned your water hose away from the bamboo so it doesn't get any water. Kt |
