In What Areas or Climates will Bamboo Grow?
Bamboo has the ability to grow in a wide range of climates. Some species can grow in the cold Himalayan mountains of Tibet, while others thrive in the hot sub-Saharan regions of Africa. Giant running bamboos tend to favor temperate climates and clumping bamboos like warmer tropical climates. The most reliable factor to consider before growing bamboo is your hardiness zone.
