| Are you planning to bring it in each winter? Your Zone is pretty close to the practical limits of bamboo hardiness for in-ground plants, and bamboos in pots are much more vulnerable to the effects of cold and freezing than if they were in the ground. |

| Most bamboo do quite well in pots. You just need to re-pot every couple of years due to the root system expanding to the edges of the pot and causing the plant to get root-bound. For that reason, you want a vase shaped pot since you will not be able to unpot a bamboo from a pot that recurves (i.e., has a top opening less than the widest diameter of the pot). Also, how tall a bamboo can you handle? Many of them will get pretty tall, even in a pot. |
