there was only one type of bamboo that is "certified?" to build with and it doesn't grow here.
Guadua from S. America is the most rot resistant, and people here are growing it on island now.
When I read the first quote above I doubted it.
When reading the second one above I nodded my head. That is what I thought. Many people are bamboo collectors and they all seem to grow here. Of course there may be exceptions to the rules but our island is so diverse with so many micro climates, if there is a variety out there it will grow somewhere on our island.
