No sale, shipping, or delivery is offered.

All these free-of-charge bamboo offers are first posted on the instantly updated blog BAMBOO AVAILABLE FOR FREE (ไม้ไผ่ให้ฟรี)

If you want to purchase bamboo plants, you can buy bamboo (plants, poles, seeds) from Mr. Thammarat of the commercial bamboo nursery Boonthammee Bamboo Garden (Boon­thammee Co., Ltd.), Hang Dong, Chiang Mai. Mr. Thammarat offers nation­wide and inter­national delivery of bamboo. Please consider that bamboo plants due for any ship­ment need to be prepared, either for domestic trans­portation or for inter­national delivery.

When is the right time to plant bamboo? / Wann ist der richtige Zeitpunkt, Bambus zu pflanzen?
The BEST time to plant bamboo is about a few weeks or months before the initiation of developing new bamboo shoots (new culms) above the ground. Bamboo shooting initiation depends mainly on the species to which the bamboo plant belongs (which means knowing the name of the species, or at least the genus, is most helpful). Most bamboo species from temperate and tropical climates start shooting between March and October. However, planting bamboo can be done successfully almost all year round, but this largely depends on climate and season, the plant's condition (e.g. whether potted or just dug up), maintenance, and especially protection from temporary unfavorable conditions (e.g. too much or not enough moisture content of the soil and air, too much sun exposure, root competition, weed overgrowth).
