Bamboo Identification

The emphasis of this site is mainly on woody bamboos of Asian origin, especially those from temperate areas, and their cultivation in Europe & the USA. The initial intention was to write a book, but a website seemed a much more flexible, useful and powerful alternative, which could adapt and develop, and link directly to other developing online information. Moreover, it was hoped that it would make the collection of publications infinitely more accessible, and this has been borne out by a very extensive list of visitors. The site receives more than 130,000 visits per year, and supplies up to 800 page impressions per day, with visitors not only from the UK & US as expected, but also from domains in 96 other countries so far, spread from Chile to Iceland, Finland to Malta, Morocco to South Africa, Syria to Japan, and Malaysia to French Polynesia.
