cam

it looks like pseudosasa but i have never heard of it taking those lows........

Jesse, I didn't think P. japonica could take those temps until I bought one! It's in a more sheltered position than most of my other bamboos, but every winter so far it's been in much better condition than even my Phyllostachys bissetii!

Good to hear cam. I had one but it got mowed down and took the winter hard because it didnt have any real top growth left. Ive thought of trying it again, one of many things i need to try lol

Barb, a couple of times my weather sticker has frozen at -9999 C 😆

Jesse, I had a 2nd P. japonica before. I had to cut both of them to the ground last fall to try to get rid of bamboo mites. One plant regrew pretty well, while the other had some growth which later died (and I'm presuming it's dead now). I think the key with P. japonica is to at least make sure there are a couple of inches of stem which survive the winter.
