Jeff and Pam from Eaas, TN came down for a visit today. They were interested in beginning a grove of large timber bamboo.

On this trip, they decided to get Phyllostachys viridis 'Robert Young' and Phyllostachys nigra 'Black'. They plan on coming back closer to the spring to get some large divisions of Moso, always a fun species. Thanks for your order and we enjoyed getting to meet you.

	We had the opportunity to get to work with designer and owner of Urbanscape, Andrew Morrow again. He understands how to effectively use bamboo in his designs and comes up with some great ideas.
This bamboo was installed in Mountain Brook, AL. It was a beautiful house that was nearing completion. He had designed a modern courtyard area for entertaining.
	The black bamboo is going to be installed along the right hand side of the courtyard and framed by boxwoods. It is a contemporary design and should compliment the metal artwork and fountains that will be installed. Thanks again for your order and it is pleasure to do business with you.

Today, Samantha and Paul from Miami visited. They bought five divisions of Phyllostachys Vivax as a gift for a friend. After learning that there were so many different varieties of bamboo, they also became interested in it. They intend to visit again and purchase some bamboo for Paul's land. It is a place to escape the city and he thinks that bamboo will be the perfect addition. We enjoyed your visit. Thanks.

	Today, Denny and I loaded our 24 foot trailer with the bamboo plants for the Mobile, Alabama delivery tomorrow.
On October 14th, Tim and Donna toured our groves and hand picked bamboo plants to be installed in their yard in Mobile.
	They had planted over 30 three gallon clumping varieties of bamboo. They wanted those replace with some large divisions of running bamboo to achieve a good screen.

  They picked out some very nice Phyllostachys nigra 'Black', Phyllostachys aureosulcata and Phyllostachys spectabilis. For the really large variety, they chose Phyllostachys nigra 'Henon' (Giant Gray Henon).

   We will have more pictures of this delivery after we return at the end of the week. We will be installing barrier for their different sections that they want to plant.

Glenn from Florida stopped by to see us today. He has just recently retired to Florida and he is installing plants for a privacy screen. He chose a wide variety of bamboo to be shipped back to his new residence.
	Here we are showing him some of the roots system of a mature grove of Moso bamboo. After seeing all of the different groves, he was able to narrow it down to seven different species that he wanted to grow. We greatly appreciate his visit and letting us be his bamboo supplier. Thanks.

	Lynn from TN visited today. Visits can be arranged on any day of the week with appointments. Here we are looking at a grove of Vivax Aureocaulis.
Lynn had seen a beautiful bamboo grove at the Dallas Botanical Gardens. He desired some large diameter bamboo to make a Japanese style garden in his landscape. He decided to chose Phyllostachys Nigra Henon. This is a great selection for a large diameter bamboo in colder climate zones.
	With our wrapping, Lynn was able to carry some large specimens home with him. We really enjoyed his visit and was glad to be able to help him create a beautiful landscape at his home.

	Today, Mark and Judy visited us from Signal Mountain, TN. We were their third bamboo nursery to visit. They are collecting bamboo to start a their own bamboo nursery.
They decided to get some great divisions of Phyllostachys Vivax and Phyllostachys Rubromarginata. It was a pleasure to get to meet them and their children. We hope you enjoyed your tour and wish you all the luck in your future business.

This is the nightmare that we all are afraid of. This was a nice couple living in a nice forest when they were invaded by a parking lot. Not just any parking lot, a parking lot that hosts an assortment of local events. As an added bonus they can hear the traffic from the nearby road now and are kept up with the bright lights.

They decided to purchase the Phyllostachys Rubromarginata and Phyllostachys Vivax because of the height available from these two species. They both size up fast. Vertical screening is of great importance because of the location of the house and the lighting from the parking lot. Hopefully in a couple of years the parking lot problem will be solved. Thanks for your order and we were very glad that you called on us to help. Thanks Tonya and Sam.

Today, Tim and Donna from Mobile, AL came out to visit our nursery. They needed privacy and beautiful plants to view from their sunroom. They chose some large divisions of Phyllostachys Nigra, Phyllostachys Nigra Henon 'Giant Gray' and Phyllostachys Aureosulcata Spectabilis. They also decided to have these large divisions delivered to their residence by us. More pictures of the delivery to come soon. Thanks for your order.
