Bamboo in the snow

Post by thebambooguy »

We typically get a decent amount of snow where I live and so my bamboo usually gets buried by it. Should I start uncovering it? Or does the snow act as a sort of barrier again the wind and cold?

By all accounts I have heard, leave the snow in place, it will insulate your plant from the cold. That and you may actually harm the plant by trying to remove it.

Thanks for the advice Wolfedg! I'll just leave it be then.
