Years ago we begin saving some of our customer emails. Many have expressed comments about the service and bamboo they have received from us. Below are excerpts taken from email sent by some of our very nice customers. Look over these and the many areas of this great country that are now growing our bamboo.

 Many customers and now new friends have visited our bamboo farm over the years. Some of them can be seen with their new bamboo by going to Our Bamboo News.

We have picture of our bamboo that was delivered to many zoos, botanical gardens and other nonresidential sites. Click here to visit our page with Commercial Sites. We have our bamboo now growing in all 48 continental
states.

Thank you for visiting our site and we hope to be of help with your bamboo selection.

My order has been received and is excellent. This is my second order from you totaling 8 plants of 2 different species. I wanted to take a minute to thank you for an incredible product.

I order a lot of stuff online and have never seen such amazing customer service and products as you provide.

If I can just get you to sell everything I buy my life would be much simpler.

Two thumbs up on your customer service, delivery speed, product, and overall experience.

Thank you!!!!

Subject: Fwd: found today

I know that you guys see this all the time but I thought you might like to see what you helped us grow.  I planted this Moso at my father's home about 6-8 years ago...the stock came from Lewis Farms.  We have watched it grow over the years and were impressed that it had made it to about 3 inches diameter near the pond where we first planted it. 

I have always remembered, however, reading that Moso could get "as large as an oatmeal container."  It seemed as if ours never would...my father and I were exploring our Moso patch yesterday and looked through the thick brush that separates the creek from the small pond...we realized some bamboo had made a "leap" to beside the creek.  I bushwhacked my was over to it and discovered it is LARGER than an oatmeal container...what a find!!!

Dad (Pop) has really enjoyed watching the Moso grow (and Robert Young - viridis, black - nigra - and two other types I do not remember right now).

 It will be truly exciting next spring to see how much of the very large Moso appears.

Thank you for helping us get this adventure started.

Lithia Springs, GA

 Here is the email I sent to family members yesterday after our discovery.

 The Moso is finally getting BIG!!!

 The one on the right is over 17" circumference, 5.5" diameter...by the pond in Pop's field.  This is about 30 feet from the original planting I made about 6-8 years ago.

Dear Rachel and Roger,
 
The 2 replacement bamboo plants arrived Tuesday evening.  They look great; I planted and watered them right away per your instructions.  I feel confident that they will thrive just as well as the others.
 
Thank you for outstanding service!  I am very glad I chose your company for my bamboo and will be happy to recommend you to others and hope to do business with you again.
 
Best wishes,
 
Van

Hello Rachel,
 
This is my e-mail following up on our phone conversation from Wednesday afternoon.  I received my six golden bamboo plants on May 5 and 7 and planted them per your website's instructions the evening of the 7th.  Four have done well with three experiencing new culms.  Two have lost all of their leaves and turned brown and brittle.  I am attaching some photos.  If they can survive and start new shoots, I would keep them but if they are dead, I would like replacement plants.  Please e-mail me or call me at xxx with your advice.
 
Thank you,
 
Van

Subject: RE: First Snow

 

Roger,

It stayed pretty cold today, so we were able to get some more nice photos.  This was a very wet heavy snow which has some of the Rubro plants totally bent over.  I know they’ll be fine though.  This snow was unusually heavy, bringing down some little branches from the big trees as well.  In a couple of photos you’ll see an example of how nicely the Rubro is doing. This particular division in the photo put up several new shoots which is amazing considering that it was planted at the end of June this year.  The next couple of days the temperatures are supposed to moderate and more rain is predicted for Wednesday.

 We’ll let you know well in advance about our trip.  We decided to take our own vehicle because I wasn’t thrilled about renting a truck and bouncing around in it for 15+ hours.  I figure if 4 greyhounds can fit in the back, a substantial amount of plants could fit in there too.  There is a lot of room when the seats are down.  We both are very enthusiastic about seeing your groves.

 Will be interesting to see how the weather plays out this winter.  Hopefully will continue to have the regular beneficial precipitation we’ve been having.

Nancy
