What kind of bamboo for my climate?

I wanted to grow bamboo in my back yard and I was wondering if I have a good climate for this?

  • I live in south eastern PA could a grow any types of bamboo? I don't have that much room so I want a plant with a high profit margin? If not would there be any other plants that fits my description

  • Answer:

    Bamboo is one of the easiest plants to grow and can grow very fast. It also can grow in most climates. It can however depend on the species. Chances are if you buy bamboo in your area, it'll grow in your area.

Enter your zip code where indicated and it will tell you your growing zone. Then look on their site or elsewhere for plants that do well in your zone. http://www.bamboogarden.com/cold%20hardy%20bamboo.html You can also check with your local arboretum. They will know specific species just for your area.

As far as I know, bamboo in an evasive plant, and possibly ( I am not too sure) you may not be allowed to grow it where you live.

Lived in Pittsburgh where a neighbor grew it. It grew too well. She had a hard time trying to contain it. But it made a wonderful sound when it was windy:)
