Where to find bamboo poles in northern Cal

[bprm4rnt]

Does anyone know where I can buy a few bamboo poles? Maybe half-an-inch to an inch in diameter and 10 ft long. I live in the Bay Area (California).

try checking with some of the local people in the North California Chapter of the American Bamboo Society http://bamboo.org/ChapterPages/NoCalChapterInfo.html

This chapter is also hosting the Annual Meeting and Conference of the American Bamboo Society on Nov 7-9, 2008 at the San Francisco Zoo
You can read about the conference here (http://ABS2008.davidgking.com/)

I live in Cameroon in central Africa where we harvest bamboo. I don't really have the precise response for your concern, but let's try. I'm preparing to export bamboo poles in Europe, North America and other destinations but i still need to find partners or customers in the destination countries.

So if you need larger quantities or find people with whom you can buy in bulk, it will be fine, since I would like to send them by approximately container load to make a cheap price.

Hey I have been trying to find more info on growing bamboo in Cameroon, mostly for the purpose of making clothing, if you could direct me to any info or know about the processes of making clothing into bamboo any info would be great, thanks.
