If you cut all the canes down to the ground the canes do not regrow from the cut canes, but new ones will eventually grow from the base. However, I don’t know that I would recommend cutting the canes down to the ground along with a transplant. I think your transplant stands to more successful if you move the canes with the roots. Also, I read that a newly transplanted bamboo plant can take a few years to send up new shoots, so you run the risk of looking at a bare patch.
