    Yes it’s a good replacement to pine-a-fication and then the national ten year pine beetle blight. 16:03 bamboo floor squares seem to be a option. They were in my parents brochures for floor building. They just wanted darker.

    I was thinking of growing it to sell as fencing material, PA was where I had in mind, it grows all over New Jersey now.

      Just keep in mind, the bamboo poles with weather outdoors if not treated with something. You might try growing a species of Chusquea which has solid poles, and therefore less prone to splitting. (bambubatu.com/genus-chusquea-solid-bamboo-of-the-americas/)

      I didn't know there was a solid bamboo species. I might just grow this over the summer, I wonder if its banned in New Jersey like the other species, probably right. My thinking with starting a farm was first, I need some way to fence an acre of land so why not grow bamboo to make the fence and save 20,000? Then I think well why not just make the farm for bamboo? Could I find a buyer? That is the question.

      @@zomalfa4363 Chusquea is a clumping genus of bamboo, so there's no reason for it to be banned. (Although some laws are enacted without good reason!) Yes, it makes a great natural fence, but selling the poles isn't so easy.

      I disagree because in New Jersey, there's something like 8 million people all living within an hours drive of each other, so with that you're gonna find some who will buy it ..but will it pay?

    Would it be possible for to start a good Guadua angustifolia bamboo farm in the southern US? If so, what states do you think would be the best for it and if not then what are some other bamboo species that are timber bamboo that can grow well in the US?

      I don't think so. It does better in high elevations near the equator. For more appropriate species, check this video: ua-cam.com/video/fr7U0ADSP_g/v-deo.html or this article: bambubatu.com/best-bamboo-species-for-farming-cultivating-allies/

    What do you think about Moso bamboo for a farm?

      @bambubatu  Рік тому

      It depends on the location, but Moso is generally pretty finicky and slow to get established

    Jesus is God who came in the flesh to be sacrificed for the forgiveness of sin for any person who believes and calls on His name. Beware that Satan will soon appear on earth claiming to be Jesus. A few days before Jesus was crucified, He was eating at the home of Simon, a leper who Jesus had healed, when a woman came along with a box full of precious ointment and anointed Jesus with its contents. The disciples were mad, saying that the woman could have sold the ointment and given the proceeds to the poor. Jesus explained to everyone that she had anointed him for his burial, and commanded that what he had done be told for a memorial of her where ever the gospel is preached.

      The religious implications of bamboo are actually quite profound
