Re: Overwintering Bamboo in Containers

I agree light over winter is important. I have Sasa seedlings in the ground, I am not sure what is best to do for winter.(I posted a question under "seedling questions" and hope it is okay to say so here). Only once, in many years did a plant, in the ground loose its leaves over winter(pla...
