Re: [bamboo-plantations] best locations for bamboo farming in the USA

Gigantis Bamboo plantation Hello Meave,

Hardy bamboos grow best in USDA Zone 8. Tropical bamboos grow best in
USDA Zone 9. You might want to buy my book "Farming Bamboo"
http://www.DogScooter.com/BambooFarmingUSA/
and read some of the archived articles. I have seen gorgeous stands
of hardy timber bamboos in Georgia and in Louisiana. I have seen
gorgeous tropical timber bamboos in Hawaii and Florida.
