Anyone have experience with planting/growing bamboo here in town? Is there a greenhouse that carries it?

I think you can find it pretty much anywhere, Golden Acres has some...

I believe thats the indoor stuff. Theres a fairly cold hardy clumping variety, Fargesia, thats ive seen mentioned for outdoor, but seems to be an ordering seeds online only thing.

Can it survive Calgary winters? If so, I'd be interested too!

It looks like you lose the stems every winter and would be risky with rhizome underground. Hardy ones are zone 6 stems and at best a zone 4 rhizome. Risky, but with covering in the winter could be doable. Really needs a Vancouver climate.

Aren't certain types of bamboo considered an invasive species in North America?

Not that it might be an issue in Calgary...
