What kind of bamboo can be grown in Missouri?

The Missouri Botanical Garden grows Yellow Groove bamboo (Phyllostachys aureosulcata) a running plant that requires retaining barriers.

Missouri State University has several species growing on campus:

Pygmy Bamboo (Arundinaria pygmaea) reaches only 1 1/2 feet but spread vigorously with runners so need a barrier.

Nuda bamboo (Phyllostachys nuda) is a bit hardier for exposed locations but reaches 30 feet and is a running species.

River bamboo (Arundinaria gigantea 'Rivercane') is native to North America, reach 20 feet, running, and grows in sun or light shade.

For clumping bamboo look at umbrella Fargesia murielae and blue Fargesia nitida or dragonshead Fargesia dracocephala 'Rufa'.

I am able to grow bamboo in zone 6a, but I think zone 4-5 is pushing it for a timber bamboo. If you heavily mulch you bamboo over winter, put a tent over it, and try every thing possible to keep it from dropping below 0degrees, it might be possible, but don't expect anything more than 20 feet. Try it out anyways.

Northern China bamboo. I saw some growing on right of way near Memphis. You will need a permit to grow bamboo. I have a business contract to offer you re. my forty river bottom Phelps County eh.

I think moso would be growable but it wouldnt get very big. Moso is usually hardy to zone6 but you could try if u already bought it. If you want it that bad you could consiter moving to zone 8 or 7 places like arkansas. If you dont need it that bad then try some other types of bamboo that may not get as big but are hardier. Sorry to disapoint you =[.

If you're referring to house plant the only one Ican think of is lucky bamboo.
