Review
Bamboo is a new perennial crop for US farmers - for shoots (vegetables), poles (wood and fiber), leaves and branches (fodder and silage) as well as recycling wastewater from livestock and food processing and runoff from roofs and pastures, windbreaks,erosion control, wildlife habitat, and a buffer of unwanted sights an dsounds. Daphne provides substantial detail with an eye to helping choose a bamboo crop to raise - shoot quality/flavor, commercial and traditional use and quality of canes, yield per acre, where and how it grows, what it looks like and more- interesting and invaluable stuff even if you're not a farmer! -- American Bamboo Society Northeast Chapter Quarterly Vol 9 December 1998
From the Publisher
On your web site all I want you to change is the deletion of the description of the fact that it is on 100% bamboo pulp and the info that follows about Fox River as it is no longer printed that way and the copies you have now are not on bamboo paper.

Hardy Bamboos for Shoots & Poles,
By Steven Opelc (Georgia, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hardy Bamboos for Shoots & Poles (Paperback)
If you have a couple extra acres, and have thought about making some extra money on them, bamboo may be the way. As well as covering the history of bamboo in the United States and giving details of 30 different varieties, it covers the farming aspect of raising bamboo. After reading this book you will know if bamboo is what you want.

Booklet not a book,

This review is from: Hardy Bamboos for Shoots & Poles (Paperback)
This is a booklet.....28 pages long. For people familiar with plants,it is my opinion this book offers very little information that is not already available online. I am disappointed.
