October 08 Bamboo Headquarters Events

wpadminex — Sat, 27 Sep 2008 16:25:56 +0000

October will be a festive month of special bamboo sales for us. On Monday the 13th we will be offering small to medium sized plants of the most colorful and exotic at the San Diego Horticulture Society Meeting in conjunction with a program “Bamboo, the Earth and Us.” For more information go to http://www.sdhortsoc.org/meetings.htm. The cost is $5.00 for non-members.

Then on Saturday the 25th we will offer a large cross section of all our bamboos at the much-anticipated sale by San Diego Chapter of the American Bamboo Society, which also features an auction of rare bamboo. One can often find species that have been newly introduced from other countries after undergoing rigorous inspection and approval by the USDA. For further details visit http://www.abssocal.org/calendar.html.

This event is free to the public!

New Exotic Plant Collection

For those of you who do get the chance to visit our nursery you will be amazed at all the new bamboo companions we’ve gathered together this year. We’re now offering a full array of exotic flora from all over the world, most notably Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. We’re really showing them off, as you can see from how different our front entrance now looks! We hope some of you will find the time in your travels to visit us.

New Running Bamboo Garden

In May 2008 we installed an entire new demonstration garden dedicated to running bamboos. The site has 14 beds, each planted with different species and surrounded with rhizome barrier. This running bamboo garden will be used to illustrate the ease of installing the barrier while adding to our already awesome collection of mature in ground specimens. As most of you bamboo lovers have learned, there’s a BIG difference between looking at pictures of mature bamboo and seeing, hearing and feeling the real deal! Please stop in for a personal tour if you are in the area.

I can’t tell you how happy I am with your product!

Hi Bamboo Headquarters, I can’t tell you how happy I am with your product!
(But I will try). Your UPS online tracking link was simple, I just checked the progress of my plant every day and knew about when it would arrive so I can get it ready to put in the ground. I received the box today and was flabbergasted at the size! I recently placed a similar order from another bamboo etailer and paid about the same amount, and received a plant 4x as small, this one is almost perfect in the height I was hoping to achieve in a year or two! THANKS SO MUCH! Hopefully I will have much privacy from our neighbors!

Thanks to the Head Honcho

We received a call from Melinda H. of Laguna Beach CA, who called to say that a man, ‘the head honcho’, saved her bamboo! No one knew what was wrong, lots of misadvice… then you saved her bamboo… it’s shooting, green, glorious! IT ALL CAME BACK!

It’s really great when people listen and understand. It’s even better when they take time to say thanks.
Ralph Evans, Mr. Bamboo, a.k.a Head Honcho.

More Great Bamboo Photos

We recently received two great sets of photos from our website visitors! The first set is from Mac T., who is building a “Bamboo City” in San Pablo – Laguna Philippines a must pit stop for travelers.

Here’s a beautiful grove of Phyllostachys vivax that started from five transplants in 2001. Some of this year’s culms in the mature grove were 33+ feet. The grove is just east of Kingsburg, CA.

I cannot express how nice it is to get quality service.
