3. Winter is coming
You can really plant bamboo during any season and any time throughout the year. This holds true for those who live in milder climates, but those who live in colder regions should ensure that they plant the bamboo early enough that they’ll be strong enough to survive once winter comes along.
If you plant your bamboo too late in the year, be sure to heavily mulch your plant so that it will an extra layer of protection from the cold breeze of winter. Heavy mulching is sometimes the only way to ensure your bamboo survives in the coldest regions.
If you live in hotter regions such as Arizona in the United States, you’ll want to wait for spring or fall before you plant your bamboo. If you want to plant your bamboo under the heat of summer, be sure to at least give it some shade so that it can grow in peace before having to deal with the harsh temperatures.
