Bamboo question

15 years ago

My hubby's birthday is Feb 20th.I have no idea what to get him. He loves bamboo. Everytime he see's some somewhere he says he wants that. I was thinking if I can find some I would love to get him some. My question is where do I find some. Does Lowes or Depot carry any? We live (in boonies) a hour away from any big town so its tough to find things. Next question is what types will make it in Oklahoma? I know nothing about bamboo so I am totally lost on this one. can use any help I can get. Thanks

Why not buy a plant from one of the many nurseries on the internet? Or you could let your husband browse and choose one. They'll have a much better selection than any big box store, and you can get it delivered to your door! For information about what does well in your area, check out the American Bamboo Society website below, especially their Species Source List.
