Species selection

Choosing suitable species for your project.
It is useful to grow a selection of species to extend harvest season, to provide bamboo for various end uses, to insure against catastrophe; eg, flowering.
One species perhaps a few, will really flourish at a specific location given the climate, soil quality and aspect. Modifying inputs such as nutrients and water will maximise species suitability.
Marginal species should not be heavily invested in.
