Chamaedorea microspadix, or the hardy bamboo palm, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Chamaedorea, native to eastern Mexico (Hidalgo, Querétaro, San Luis Potosí, and Veracruz). [ 3 ] [ 4 ] It is remarkably cold hardy for a palm, able to survive occasional frosts down to 20 °F (−7 °C).
[1] This bamboo grows in areas ranging from subtropical to temperate and tolerates winter temperatures down to -23 °C (-10 °F), [1] [2] being a more cold-hardy bamboo. [4] Like water bamboo, the rhizomes and roots of this species also have air canals as an adaptation for living in wet soil.
Phyllostachis aurea is cultivated as an ornamental plant for gardens. In the United States, Australia, South Africa and Italy, it is considered an invasive species that crowds out native species and becomes a monoculture that is difficult to remove.

Phyllostachys bambusoides is a "running" (monopodial type) evergreen bamboo [1] which can reach a height of roughly 20 m (66 ft) and a diameter of 10 cm (3.9 in).
