I cut them back to the ground and am hoping for new culms when the weather warms up. We have 2 of these, all the culms died after the 3 day freeze.

The ones out front get full sun and have already put out several new culms. The drought didn't slow them down or affect the bamboo. I don't know if they sent roots down below the water table or if they really don't need much water? Love the clumping bamboos, I highly recommend them.

The ones in sun put up new culms about 6 months after being planted. I put 3 more of these in to replace plants lost to Ike. The ones in sun put up new culms about 6 months after being planted.

Mealy bugs seem to like this plant. I've been blasting them off with a water hose. This is planted in mostly shade, and a more dry than wet area which may be why it isn't growing faster. I expect in the long run that will be a good thing. The third culm appeared in late July, it is now 20′ tall and more than an inch in diameter near the bottom.
