If you're in Planting Zones 8, 7 or lower you can grow your own (it's like a weed, you know). I need to remember to go cut some tomorrow to use on my new bar, as a matter of fact. Of course... BIG BAMBOO is a different story. The stuff at the BAMBOOBOLE.COM site is pretty impressive. I've heard that there is some in an area not far from here (about 30 minutes) that gets to about 5" in diameter. I've seen bamboo at least 10" in diameter but I've no friggin' idea where that was grown. If you're not too far north... Look around! Perhaps those Tiki Centralites of us who live in the South should attempt to grow enough to supply to our Northern Friends. For a Small Fee, of course. [ Edited by: Traitor Vic on 2003-02-22 01:07 ]
