Good Day:

[From research, not experience - I am not a biologist!]

What data do you have for an equivalence to USDA hardiness zones? 

There are a number of varieties that are hardy down to USDA Zone 5 (comparable to Tabriz, Iran), and some even to Zone 6. See this link for hardy varieties:

However, not all varieties will be suitable for pulp and paper construction. See attached: High-Yielding Bamboo Plantations For Paper And Pulp  by Zhang WenYan and Ma NaiXun, Subtropical Institute of Forestry, 

pp. 14 Selection of Suitable Species
