how tall does the rainbow bamboo get? what type of climate will it tolerate?

I haven't planted the seeds yet, too cold yet in Kansas. I intend to plant when the soil warms up and all chance of frost is past. From the research I did I believe this is one of the tallest species but have heard it is very invasive. I will find out!

From two growers:Moso bamboo - Fant cloneMoso bamboo - Anderson cloneWhen mature (about 15 - 20 years) they reach a maximum height of 70 feetThey both do well in zones 7, 8, and 9.It can survive in zone 6, but its growth may be retarded.I must assume the rainbow variety will be similar.

My pampas grass is about 5 feet but they have yet to produce the tall plumes that are pink or white in color, with a silky, feathery feel. But I believe they can get up to 12 feet under the right condition

Honestly I don't know. If you're talking about ACTUAL BAMBOO I'm not sure that grows here in Albuquerque in our weather at 5,000+ altitude. If it's some kind of weed by that name, I'm not familar with it. I do stand by my review to the point of saying, hmmmm is this stuff "bad"? I bought two more bags after 2+ years but STILL NOTHING grows where I used to have a horrendous weed problem. GREAT for my back and my time but............. I'm sure it's fine!!! And I have two bags in my shed...

No, I have not. I would imagine the bamboo will tolerate that kind of heat.

I live in zone 9, but googled your zone for black bamboo. It's not recommended, but they list others more suitable to your cold winters.

I dont know if I can be much help. I just purchased my bamboo 2-3months ago too. So far my bamboo hasnt gotten any taller, but has just started to spread. Im not a bamboo expert and this is my first attempt at growing bamboo. I dug my hole approx. 4ft wide and 1ft in depth(2 plants). I used a garden and tree shrub composite to plant and fill in the hole. Ive watered my plants frequently and used my yard clippings to cover the exposed dirt. Ive read that once established it should start to spread rapidly and grow taller year to year each spring. Not sure how accurate that is, since its my first year.Hope this helps.

At 28 1/2 inches in height, it is not tall enough for your plant. That's a shame because it is beautiful.

No, I have two of these over my Koi pond and the plants are bigger and thicker than ever. My koi are protected from flying prey and it keeps the sun off our studio in the mornings. All plants are thriving. We have ours at about the 10' height.

Unfortunately, I do not know what species it is. It is a rather hard wood as opposed to pine, I would say its closer to say a Poplar or Maple. Up here in NJ we do get some pretty humid days (about 30 to 40 from June to August) and sometimes well into September but nothing like what you get in a Tropic Zone. We also get extreme cold as well in the winter. All I can add is that I keep mine outside under a covered porch away from rain and snow year round and the stools I purchased look as good as the day I got them.

Maximum height from top of first layer bamboo to bottom of second layer bamboo is 2 1/2 inches. That is also the measurement from second layer to lid crown.

I live in Northern New Jersey, My fig is doing great. Purchase this year for my patio, gave it a lot of water and direct sun. Stands about four feet tall and full now.

Yes they would last in zone 4. But I would never buy bamboo from Amazon. It is better to buy it from a nursery. The plant is really small it would take forever to grow

I planted the Dynamite Crape Myrtle this spring. It is blooming already, gorgeous dark color, it is about 4 feet tall and in full sun in Birmingham, AL. I dont know about trimming it but I dont see a reason why not (people trim them at various hights)

Yes. The plant we received was about 6 inches tall, very healthy and it did arrive in a pot as you see it pictured. As far as the eastern exposure is concerned I would think that would suffice for the plants needs. We have ours in a shaded area facing South and it seems be doing very well. Good luck!

The one I received was approximately 12 inches high. It is a rapid grower and is now around 3 1/2 feet tall.The plant is not winter hardy for my zone in Northeast Georgia and temps in the low 20s will damage the plant.

The lowest temperature it can tolerate is 45 degrees but depending on your zone you can summer it outside and winter it inside. Watch for spider mites and keep in full sun for best results. Most passiflora are fairly hardy.
