So unlike deciduous trees, whose leaves turn color and fall in the autumn, bamboo will keep its leaves, even in a freezing winter. (And yes, there are plenty of bamboo varieties that can survive a freezing winter.)

Some of the hardiest bamboo species are grown in USDA plant hardiness zone 5, [ citation needed] although they typically defoliate and may even lose all above-ground growth, yet the rhizomes survive and send up shoots again the next spring.
