Default RE: Bamboo ?

There are plenty of hardy bamboos which will grow in your area. If you wanted to feed Pandas they would be a good choice but I don't know if deer will eat them :-)

I've found a good alternative in Mulberries. They grow fast anddeer love the leaves and fruit. The bearing season is from July to September so they match up nicely with apple plantings.

PS, I have a few bamboos growing in my garden near Niagara Falls. Nothing has fed on them.
