We were looking for a black bamboo to pot in our backyard. We had no idea there was so many kinds available in our area. This place has acres of planted bamboos so you can see what it looks like after it has been growing for a long time. The place is called Bamboo Sourcery http://www.bamboosourcery.com/ . The staff and office is small, so you have to make an appointment with them to see their grounds and talk to someone. They will walk you around the property and show you all plants that might work for you. The prices are reasonable but the big kick is the variety of bamboos you can select from. Even if you aren't closeby, its worth the drive to check out their bamboo and the property. Heck, stop by some wineries and do some wine tasting too!! Good Luck in your search! Myke
