Hardy Bamboo
Yes, we can grow bamboo in Spokane. And, no, it isn’t going to take over your neighbor’s yard (even if you want it to). Even the hardiest bamboos will only survive to minus 15 or 20F so they will need the insulation that the ground provides.
If you want to grow it in a pot, above ground, you will need to move the pot someplace warm in the winter.
