Question

I am in Leavenworth, KS. I have found maps putting me in Zone 4, 5 or 6. Which zone do I use for your website? Right now I am curious as to whether I could grow tall hardy bamboo.

Based on your zip code, you are in USDA hardiness zone 6a. Here's an article about hardy bamboo that does well in your area:
