Hi!Haiti, Samoa, Fiji, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, and the Bahamas are all on the south side of the Tropic of Cancer. Species of Bambusa, Dendrocalamus and Schizostachyum genera are growing successfully in the four countries of the South Pacific, but only a few species of Bambusa were seen in the Bahamas. I was able to successfully establish bamboo gardens in Samoa, and Vanuatu. Papua New Guinea already had a very nice bamboo garden. I imported some ornamental species of Phyllostachys into Vanuatu, and they did very well.
Hence, I have a very strong feeling that tropical species of bamboos will grow successfully in the climate of Haiti as well.

Hi,That will be a great idea targeting bilateral objectives upon implementing different bamboo species plantations across such a landscape.However, i would like to tell you you should be able to be sure of the knowledge and skill of propagation of bamboo species with new a new environment as it will be very difficult for the bamboo species to establish in a new environment.So first, you better study thoroughly the ecological, physiological requirments of the bamboo species you selected.Wish you good luck.Tewodros--- On Fri, 19/9/08, gilberto Viala <Picleciel@yahoo.fr> wrote:From: gilberto Viala <Picleciel@yahoo.fr>Subject: [bamboo-plantations] New member nursery establishmentTo: bamboo-plantations@yahoogroups.comDate: Friday, 19 September, 2008, 7:37 PMHi,My name is Gilbert, and I live in Haiti.I'm very interested in starting a bamboo nursery in Haitito start with a bamboo propagation programmusing different type of bamboo such as Guadua angustifolia ( available)Bambusa textilis (non available in Haiti)Dendrocalamus Latiflorus. (only one plantule available)Phyllostachys vivax, Phy. praecox both (non available in Haiti)Bambusa ventricosa (non available in Haiti)Thysostachys siamensis (non available in Haiti).The program plan to propagate bamboos for different useshoots, timber, ornamental. Three differennt ways to protect watersheds while offering ways to farmers to make money on the short and long term.I'm open for any suggestions, ideas, newest nursery efficient techniques etcGilbert VialaLandscape planerRisk managementHaiti[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
