I hope so. I set it back last year, especially my Phyllostachys. Ill be posting some pics of that soon. Its pretty sunny and quite the temp swing (I have the headache to prove it), so theyll be tarped off and on during the day to acclimate it a bit.
It looks as good as your palms do this year!

Lowest this year was -28C at the airport. So roughly -25C at my house. IT was bent to the ground, buried in leaves, tarped, and it had 2 feet of snow. More then enough insulation!

Looks like that F. rufa came through OK. What about the Phyllostachys?

The Phyllostachys got half unburied before I left for groceries. After some lunch im gonna go back there and give it another go. The snow is way deeper then the rest of my yard, thanks to a neighbor who plowed an extra 3 feet of snow there

Great work, Canadianplant! All of my bamboo (including F. murielae) have a bit of damage, but this was to be expected, as I planted them out in August. Both of my P. japonica actually look a lot better than I thought they would!

My bamboo planted this May.
F. rufa is undisputed leader in growth. The other one has grown very little so far.
F. rufa:
now - 127cm/50inch:
F. jiuzhaigou 1 now
We'll see if they survive the Winter...

Came through winter nicely. Will these start to become invasive?

These two don't require any root barrier, so I don't expect them to be invasive at all.
