  • Our bamboo has not fully recovered from a harsh winter . We have growth at the base but Dead canes above the thriving lower canes . Should we cut back the canes that appear dead ?

    • Hi Gail, I’d say it depends. Are you sure they are dead? Or did they just change colors due to conditions or the characteristics of the species? If they are dead I would cut them back (prune them). Cut them above a node though, otherwise, you will have the same issue again. I hope your plants will get better soon!
