This next one is the largest specie of bamboo; Giganticus, also from southern China. Will produce 30cm diameter culms and grow up to 200 feet tall. Also excellent for construction, big beams and such. Supposedly pound for pound stronger than steel!
I didn't think he would make it, but today!
Looking pretty dang healthy now!
All told over the past year I've replanted poorly performing oil palm about 40-50 rai with different exotic specie bamboo.
I'm figuring the demand for nice aesthetically pleasing building materials will be increasing as people learn to hate their concrete houses.
