Is this not the most hazardous time of year to move a bamboo bare-root?

I would take 5 gal cubes of water, newspaper and trash bags to the dig site, as soon as the division is out - water, wet newspaper, put in a trash bag with more water, place in the shade during the dig - then you are generally O.K. this time of year.
