I got a tip from a good friend in the bamboo nursery business a couple of months ago about Ted Jordan Meredith's Pocket Guide to Bamboos with is published by Timber Press. Its a pocket guide with over 300 species of bamboo in it, word is that it is full of color photos that look at all aspects of the plant, from culm colors to leaves to shoot coloration. With bamboo plants the differences are often very subtle, for those who love bamboo this holds to be a very helpful guide in discerning one bamboo species from another.I am planning on purchasing a few copies to sell at plant sales I attend, for customers that visit my nursery and online.
If all the talk is true, this has promise to be a very valuable guide from a very credible bamboo expert that will be used for all that love bamboo, from the beginner bamboo lover to the most seasoned bambusero.
Cheers!

The ultimato for bamburosas! Is that really the term for bamboo lovers?
ReplyDeleteYep, I'm not sure I can find it in a dictionary, but it is used among many collectors and bamboo nurseryman alike. Get called that and you know you are "one of them." A good place to be.
