We had the pleasure of visiting JM Bamboo yesterday and meeting Jim and Mickey, the owners. They were gracious enough to invite us to see their awesome underground home as well. Jim is amazing, both with his knowledge of bamboo, and his willingness to take the time to give us a complete tour through his bamboo groves. It was unbelievable! You really can't know the beauty of the mature groves until you stand in the middle of them, and are surrounded by them. We thought we knew exactly what kind of bamboo we had come to buy, but after walking around with Jim, and seeing so many mature specimens, we came home with 2 more varieties than we expected! It was so helpful to see, in person, what a mature grove of each variety looked like, as it is very different than just seeing the young plants or a picture. We were awed by the beauty of it all and took pictures, but they don't do Jim's groves justice either. Seeing it all was amazing. We would drive the hour and a half from our home to go back just to visit. We brought home 4 beautiful plants that Jim helped us load and wrap to protect them on our way home. I will never buy bamboo again from a nursery, but will make the drive back to JM Bamboo....it was just that good and well worth the drive. Thank you to Jim and Mickey!
