Ok, One more that I just found.

This is a Rocky Mountain News article about hardy bamboos.

I just remembered that there are "Northern Hardy" Figs also. They prefer a sandy soil. and are either wrapped for protection, or dropped for the winter. These are fruiting varieties.

Bamboos can be bought at Nick's in Aurora on Chambers, and at Tagawa's (South of Arapahoe on Parker road. Tagawa's and the Denver zoo emphasize that the mid-day and afternoon sun can be too intense for many varieties of bamboo. They recommend east or north sides of buildings.

Cheers


The denver Zoo's website has a complete listing of the bamboos and other plants the have growing. The Author gives a good evaluation and description of each variety and how it has performed.

Cheers
