	We were back in Texas this week. This time at Fort Worth delivering to Mrs. Busch. She has had bamboo at her house for years. She just bought a new ranch outside of town on the river. The future location for the bamboo is where the soil is pushed up.
This new ranch land has a gas well located on it. She wants to use bamboo to screen out the well and decrease the noise that can be heard from it. She chose most all varieties of large timber bamboo, we stock, to provide privacy.
	She bought 30 gallon size plants to get a good start at screening this gas well. We had a nice trip out and really enjoyed meeting Mrs. Busch. We greatly appreciate your order and hope this bamboo will get this screened out as soon as possible.

Jeff and Pam are repeat customers that had visited us last December. They are very excited about bamboo and interested in getting some larger plants to jump start their bamboo groves. Here they are examining a Moso shoot.
	This is a 55 gallon container of bamboo. This is a great way to get get your bamboo groves started and break your back. Here, Denny takes a quick moment to size it up before the fun begins.
Here is all the bamboo loaded. Jeff and Pam decided to get Phyllostachys nigra 'Henon' Giant Gray and Phyllostachy Moso. These large divisions will provide large bamboo fast and give them the size canes they are wanting without waiting. It was a pleasure to get to see them again and we definitely appreciate their order.

	Today we made a delivery to Dallas, TX. This was to help add privacy to a residence. Larger division on Phyllostachy Nigra and Phyllostachy Nigra 'Megurochiku'  were ordered to provide an instant privacy impact.
These bamboos, along with others not pictured, are to be planted in the courtyard of this nice home. The nigra, also called black, and the megurochiku, also called black stripe bamboo, compliment each other well. It will added a lot of value to the modern look of this home as well as privacy.
	Here is a picture of a few more of the plants and the nice courtyard with a swimming pool. Bamboo will help add to the privacy of this tranquil setting. We greatly appreciate this order and hope you enjoy your bamboo.

He also purchased Phyllostachy vivax for a giant bamboo and Indocalamus latifolius for an accent plant around his pond.

Charles and his friend Paul drove down from Clarksville, TN to get some screening bamboo. The property behind Charles's house has been rezone to accommodate condos. Situations like these definitely require bamboo screens to keep your privacy.

Charles decided to purchase Phyllostachy aurea for his screening purposes. In warm climates it is a great screening bamboo because it provides privacy with limbs all the way to the ground. Before leaving they had to see some of the big bamboo. Charles decided to get some as Phyllostachy vivax to add to his landscape. To the left is an elevated walkway we have through some of our larger bamboo groves.

We really enjoyed their visit and hope Charles enjoys his bamboo.

Here, we are touring the Phyllostachys aurea 'Koi' grove. This is one of the species that Mr. Haag purchased. It is a rare, beautiful bamboo with canes that are yellow with green stripes. It also has randomly stacked internodes for a truly unique look.

This is Diana and her son Landon. She lives on a lake in McCalla, AL. There is new residential development sneaking up behind their home. Finding privacy these days is getting harder to do. They had privacy for many years, but due to population growth in a nearby city, their area is becoming very popular.
	Bamboo is a great solution to add natural privacy to your home. The plants to the left are some of the selections of Phyllostachys Rubromarginata that they chose to provide privacy for their home.
We enjoyed their visit and hope the bamboo will reestablish their privacy before the residential development becomes completed. Thanks for your visit.

Today, we delivered to William in New Orleans, LA. This is a new house that had been rebuilt after the flood. Their neighbors are also rebuilding and they need bamboo to provide privacy for their new home.

This is the raised bed for planting the bamboo and installing the barrier that William has constructed. This is a great way to help control bamboo and accelerate your screen. They chose Phyllostachys Aurea to give them the desired screening effect.

Here you can see the large house being built by their neighbors. The bamboo will provide privacy for everybody and help add more beauty to this tropical backyard. In the picture is William, holding his son Blaise. We really appreciate their business and hope they enjoy their new bamboo.
