It is difficult to know what is wrong with your bamboo without knowing more about the plant and the growing conditions. The most common cause of leaf damage this time of year is caused by severe cold from earlier in the winter. There isn't much you can do about it now, except wait and see if the leaves green out. Many times, the plant will shed it's leave as new leaves unfurl. However, if it got too cold, the damage may be so severe, the entire cane dies back to the ground. Even if the canes have all died back to the ground, usually, new growth will emerge by late spring, so don't give up yet! Good luck! Wow.

I am looking to find a timber bamboo that will work in fairly shaded conditions. We are looking for a tall screen (approx 15-20' if possible). It is going down the side of the house and the house that has gone up next to us has taken away a lot of the direct sunlight (there is a little key hole that will get direct southern exposure for a couple of hours tops). We had initially thought of going with a phyllostachys atrovaginata but I am wondering if this is going to work in a shaded situation. Any suggestions/ recommendations would be much appreciated. Many thanks Hi there. I am looking to find a timber bamboo that will work in fairly shaded conditions. We are looking for a tall screen (approx 15-20′ if possible).
