BAMBOO - WELCOME TO CANADA'S
BAMBOO WORLD
  Many
Canadians are unaware of the fact that they can grow
certain rare species of bamboo in every Province. We are
collectors of rare, cold hardy, bamboo plants and exotics that can make your
yard look like it is in the tropics. We are offering some of our rare collection
by mail order, retail and wholesale. Feel free to look around our site and learn
about this
beautiful, most used plant on earth. In North America we
do not realize the
significance of this miracle grass
and it's colorful history. From the making of the
Wright brothers flyer, to Thomas Alva Edison's light bulb, bamboo has played a
significant role because of its remarkable properties.
Testing has shown Bamboo to rival some metals in tensile strength.
Bamboo's potential as a source of pulp fiber and as a soil stabilizer from
erosion is remarkable. As a food source Bamboo shoots are enjoyed by billions of people, it has also been
shown to be an excellent feed for
livestock. In the garden, as the fastest growing woody plant on earth,
Bamboo shows its rewards quickly, as a beautiful shade creator or windscreen and
gives the urban dweller the potential for complete privacy in such an incredibly
fast time. Bamboo has been recorded growing over 4 feet in one day. As a
renewable building
material, Bamboo is becoming increasing popular in place of lumber. Bamboo
regenerates in years not the decades it takes for a forest of trees to renew
itself. This plant deserves more attention and is
finally becoming more popular in
North America.
