RE: I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #290 - What Is Your Ultimate Goal on Hive? - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Saturday, May 13, 2023
There are a great many very useful species and varieties of bamboo. Ano, the fellow who originally created GaiaYoga Gardens, developed quite a name for himself for selling about 40 different species and varieties here on the Big Island. There are all sorts of bamboos planted all over the property. At one point in my life I intended to become a botanist specializing in the woody bamboos. My life took a radically different course, but bamboos are still like old friends to me. There are no bamboos native to the Hawaiian Islands, so all are introduced. 😁🙏💚✨🤙
Yes, but why are you interested in bamboo as a building material, this is understandable, like food in the form of young sprouts, and this is understood, but what else? :)

Bamboos have more diverse uses than any other plant on earth, with few exceptions. Coconut palms and hemp plants come in second and third. David Farrelly in his excellent The Book of Bamboo: A Comprehensive Guide to This Remarkable Plant, Its Uses, and Its History, lists over 1,000. I've had a deep love and fascination with these glorious and beautiful woody grasses since I was a child. I could talk about bamboos for hours! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
For now, I only consider bamboo as a material for some crafts that I have made in the past. but we have a relatively expensive material, and my favorite fishing rod was bamboo :)

Hehe...all good, many species are excellent for various kinds of crafts! Yes, split-bamboo fishing rods are excellent! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
I made swings and ladders for parrots in my pet store :)
