The following is an overview of almost all bamboo species and varieties cultivated in our nurseries,
Baan Sammi Bamboo Garden (BSBG), Doi Saket District, and
Boonthammee Bamboo Garden (BBG), Hang Dong District, Chiang Mai, northern Thailand, both locations at about 300 m altitude. Therefore, most of these bamboo plants are from tropical and subtropical regions (mainly from Thailand and adjacent countries), and a few are from temperate climates. Sooner or later, all these bamboo plants will become available for sale. Bamboo plants that are currently available for sale will be listed in the
Bamboo Plants Catalog (creating the listings of the Catalog will start in May and possible be finished in June 2016, thereafter updated when needed).
For each species/variety, a photo album is available, or will be made available over the coming months. If a link to photos is given under a certain thumbnail photo in this listings below, the album is available. If there is no link, the album is under construction. Photo albums with photos of a certain bamboo species can also be found in
flickr.
For most species/variety, more information is available from
Bamboos of Thailand.

A tall, very attractive bamboo with large leaves, introduced into Thailand from Taiwan for shoot production. Easy and fast growing, moist soil, full sun. Shoots delicious, commonly planted for shoot production. Culms for construction. The plant has much ornamental value and is used for landscaping, very suitable for tall screening. — ไผ่หม่าจูเป็นไผ่พื้นเมืองของจีนและใต้หวัน นำเข้ามาปลูกในไทยโดยโครงการหลวงเพื่อผลิตหน่อไม้ในประเทศ รสชาติค่อนข้างดี เสี้ยนน้อย เมื่อปรุงสุกเนื้อจะนุ่มมาก ทำอาหารอร่อย มีใบใหญ่ใช้ห่ออาหารได้ด้วย เช่น บะจ่าง
ไผ่หม่าจูเริ่มหมดอายุโดยช่วง สาม สี่ ปีที่ผ่านมา พบการออกดอกตายขุยหลายที่ รวมทั้งในประเทศจีน ผมจึงได้ตามเก็บเมล็ดเพื่อคัดสายพันธุ์ที่สวน และส่วนหนึ่งนำไปปลูกที่แปลงรวบรวมพันธุ์ไผ่จากเมล็ดของสถาบันวิจัยและพัฒนาพื้นที่สูงฯ เพื่อเป็นแหล่งผลิตต้นพันธุ์แจกจ่ายให้กับเกษตกร บนพื้นที่สูง ให้เป็นแหล่งอาหาร มีไม้ใช้ลำในการเกษตร
ไผ่หม่าจูยังสามารถนำมาปลูกเพื่อตกแต่งสถานที่ได้เป็นอย่างดี เนื่องจากลำสูงโปร่งไม่มีกิ่งแขนงด้านล่างกอ จึงดูสะอาดตา หากรู้จักการแต่งกอให้โปร่งโล่งก็จะทำให้ดูสวยงามมากขึ้น ครับ
