ABS and many bamboo nurseries have Bamboo 101 tutorials on their websites. Also, I bet a google search "growing bamboo" will uncover loads of info. Rgds

I'd second all that, and add "Farming Bamboo" by Daphne Lewis. And of course, nature is the best teacher. Watch and observe bamboo every day. It'll teach you.Matt in TN wrote:Really for the most current growing info (also specific to geography) the forum is better than any book you'll ever find. I have and enjoy "The Book of Bamboo" by David Farrelly - but there's only a little growing info in there. Mostly it's about history, uses, and has a pretty decent list and description of species.
