    Morning folk....My name is steve and have recently got into growing and collecting bamboo's with varying success. I am hoping to get speaking to people who also collect and grow bamboo for advice and possible swaps/freebies sales and the like.....there are so many types I want but finding it hard to get hold of without traveling abroad.

              Welcome to GC Steve. :) You must have a fair amount of space to home various Bamboo's. The only thing I know about Bamboo is what it looks like but if this one fits your bill I can have words in the right ears. :)

                    Lived in Anglesey In the late 50s. Still remember it with much affection, My girls were taught Welsh as a 1st language in school they went on to embrace other languages very easy we lived in Beaumaris.
