Since then, it has survived the second coldest winter we had here on record (it got down to -15 F), several droughts, blizzards (including at least 2 where it was buried under 2-3' of snow), and everything else that central PA weather had to offer (except tornadoes, thankfully!) and looks great the whole time.
As advertised, this bamboo has a growth pattern more like a typical ornamental grass, and has slowly expanded to about a 1.5' diameter clump over the past 3 years, and has gotten to about 5' tall.
