This is a small bamboo I acquired awhile ago. It usually grows to about 24" in full sun but does get to 48" (and leggy) in the deep shade. It was growing in Oklahoma City area (the Zoo) It was doing well in full. The pictures are after a temp drop to 9F and high winds last week. To me the leaves seem to be wide and stubby and the pot (24") it is in was very dense last two summers ago before live stock and drought got to it.
Any info would appreciated.
thanks

Looks like Shibatea kumasaca or S chinensis
