Normally with bamboo, you do not prune, you dig. Bamboo spreads quickly and to maintain a contained space, anything that is outside the space is dug up. You can prune bamboo quite freely to reshape it or to rejuvenate it. It really is a plant that can take almost any abuse. Just trim away any parts that are looking a bit ragged. It will grow back more lush and full.
