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.
