 I have been reading on them. There are over 1000 species. They grow from seeds but can be grafted. We graft them at home in Guyana or plant those with ( eyes). They need about six years to grow to maturity but by that time they second third and forth generations are already growing by themselves as the root spawn new sprout .

Indeed, Stormborn. There were lots of bamboo trees at Mackenzie, Watooka, Wismar, Speightland, Christianburg, and One-mile area. One of the great joys as children was making the heads of kites from bamboo strips, plus "firing off carbons" from pieces of segments from the bamboo.

There are a few plants outside our building and each year in the fall they are cut back to nothing, right now they are about eight feet high. Eight feet in a year is good growing.

We have lots of acidic areas where they can strive, But there is a   variant bamboo for any soil. I t is a thing the government can  bootstrap easily rather than give the land to the Trinis and Brazilian to plant rice

The Govt can bootstrap a lot of things but they are incompetent.

 

Brazil is planting soy on a massive scale Guyana nothing.

 

Quinoa is a massive market out here. Same thing dead on arrival in GY.

 

The GY govt is only interested in activity where they can get an instant kickback and you cannot build anything sustainable in that kind of an environment.
