Which Bamboo for What Area ...

Over 12 years or more growing and selling bamboo plants, this is the question I have been asked over and over.  My response is:

1. How tall do you want it to grow ?  

2. Is it to screen out a particular building.i.e. Apartments next door/a shed/noisy roadway.

3. How big is your garden bed and whats your soil like.  

4. Do you need instant or would you like to wait and watch the bamboo grow.

5. Its it a hot sunny area ? Or shady, and very important do you get wind or frost ?

The answers these 5 plus questions give me is a way of narrowing down the species that is right for your own individual needs.   If you need advice - I am just a call or email away.  Cheers Kaye

Hello Kaye,
I have recently become interested in bamboo farming for its many benefits including environmental.
We currently nurse various tree crops in our nursery and I am keen to include bamboo. Our farms are in the rural areas in Sierra Leone which has a tropical climate. Can you please advise on which species are conducive to our climate?
Thanks in advance.
regards
Neneh
