Bamboo seeds Catalog

Post by Greenfingeredste »

Just came upon this site http://thai-bamboo-seeds.blogspot.co.uk/. They have a number of germination proved seeds for various bamboo's......The seeds come from Boonthammee Bamboo Garden in Thailand. I'm thinking of taking the plunge and ordering a few different types. Had anyone here ordered from Boonthammee Bamboo Garden ?

That's Dieter's website. You might check out his posts under user name - KhunDieter - in the sortable Members section. Everyone says the seed is dependable, he may help you out on any Borinda as they were originally wrongly named.

The Bamboo Seeds Catalog, http://thai-bamboo-seeds.blogspot.com , is actually Khun [Mr.] Sam's website (blog), who recently entered in cooperation with Khun Thammarat of Boonthammee Bamboo Garden, a separate bamboo nursery in the same province, Chiang Mai, of northern Thailand. I myself helped in the past to get the Catalog established, and the seed sales are no longer done by Khun Sam but by Khun Thammarat. Processing seed exchange/swap has still remained my duty, as well as carrying out seed germination tests and attempts in identifying bamboos raised from seeds. The seeds offered in the Catalog are from different sources, most are from China, some from flowering bamboos of the Baan Sammi Bamboo Garden, Chiang Mai, and from other parts of Thailand, and a few are from the Americas, and from cultivated bamboos elsewhere.

How many days are you waiting for response? As far as I know, Khun Thammarat is out of office for a one week bamboo irrigation project in a remote mountain area, maybe without Internet access. Please, be patient.
