We are a small commercial nursery specializing in the non-invasive bamboos of the tropical and sub-tropical regions of earth. We believe that bamboo is a resource for the health and well being of our planet and all creatures who share it. Historically, bamboo has been used by non-industrial people as a source of food, shelter, medicine, tools, art and spiritual empowerment. It seems a shame to us that a plant family with as many beautiful and useful applications is not more widely available or used by Western society. For that reason we began importing and propagating what we believe to be some of the most useful, or sometimes, just the most beautiful species that we have been able to find. We began importing our plant material to Hawaii in 1989. It has been a long and ardous process - Only the strong survive. The plants have to be held in quarantine for a period of one year. For a variety of reasons, including our own ineptitude, we experience a substantial amount of mortality during this process. When the survivors are released it then takes several years to grow them out and only then we can began to propagate them. We have not figured out a cheap and/or quick method to do this. We hope you enjoy and will find useful the information on this site.
