Bamboo for a roofdeck in New York city?

Monday, September 29th, 2008
travelerNY asked:


I have a small roof deck in Manhattan. Zone 5 but gets lot’s of direct sun light (and is hotin July and Aug). It also gets some snow in the winter.

I think I might be Zone 5, not sure though.

I’d like some big green plants and especially like bamboo. I can build a large planter and wrap/cover in the winter if necessary. Any suggestions?

Would a Japanese Maple do allright?
