Bamboo biome?

[lemming3k]

Has anyone tried growing bamboo and peach trees outside of the Field of Balance? Will they grow in any other biomes?
Ideally I'd like to use a deed map to grow them around buildings - Otherwise I'd have to set Field of Balance as my home to complete the build, which means not using my default home area for any builds.

I'm curious, and particular as to whether this biome stays after the even or not

on the bamboo sprout it sais, it will only grow in it's home biome, wich means in fields of balance.
as any other "home only" sprout that are already in the game.

I would guess, Fields of Balance will stay after the event, just like the Level1 Island "Tobli's Island" that "Kolemis Temple" Event leaves when you solve it.

Fields of balance stays after the event, and has obscene amounts of Jade.

The issue I had was that it seems to be a unique biome type but as it's not a deed map any build would be wiped on a universe reset. I wondered if it would somehow be treated as a special case because I couldn't find mention of a bamboo biome type in any wikis. Sadly I think it's just an additional type.
In the end I created a second universe and set it as my home island so I don't lose my work - it's lucky I'd just started playing so I only had a small farmhouse built and that was on small islands setting anyway so it worked out better - but if you already built something big on a normal world and wanted to try a Japan/China themed build - well I guess just make sure to complete everything and reset first!
