There are many species of bamboo. Several can grow in Alaska, if properly mulched in winter. The typical indoor ornamental bamboo, however, won't make it. Call around to your local greenhouses. Someone in the area will be carrying an Alaska-hardy bamboo. The bamboo genus Fargesia are the most cold-tolerant, many species surviving down to -20F. Some Phyllostachys can survive -10F. The key is to Mulch... Mulch... Mulch!
