Tom Thomsen, the owner of Southern Bamboo Inc. In this article Tom will bring to surface several species of bamboo that grow here in America. Southern Bamboo was founded in 2011 and offers timber bamboo poles as well as beautiful ornamental poles for indoor or outdoor display. Quality bamboo pole that are available for resale are treated with a UV coating to ensure a long lasting beauty and customer satisfaction. For more utilitarian purposes consumers should look for Henon, Moso and Tonkin, the strongest species of bamboo usually utilized when one is building tiki bars, fencing, gazebos and flooring.
At Southern Bamboo, all of our bamboo is 100% home-grown in the Southern United States. We've combined several bamboo groves to create a network of bamboo growers that produce a wide variety of decorative and timber bamboo poles. All of our bamboo poles are hand-selected and harvested. Once cut into desired lengths, the bamboo poles are then processed using our proprietary processing system. Most timber species of bamboo are kiln-dried to preserve their durability, while decorative bamboo poles are treated and coated with a UV-protectant, which ensures that their beautiful, natural color will endure.
All of our bamboo products are put through a rigorous finishing process to ensure strength, durability and vitality so that all of our bamboo poles, whether bought for decorative or utilitarian purposes, will withstand the test of time and continue looking as brilliant as the day they were harvested. All bamboo poles are treated to maintain color and vibrancy for extended periods of time. Depending on indoor/outdoor pole placement and the amount of daily direct sunlight your poles are exposed to, some customers may experience slight color fading over time. This is normal; limiting the amount of direct sun exposure will prolong the vibrancy of the natural colors of your decorative bamboo pole. Our bamboo poles are grown, harvested and distributed in the USA. We're a Jackson Mississippi based company that provides the highest quality bamboo poles. We will ship anywhere in the U.S.A.
Moso Bamboo is most widely used in the manufacturing of lumber products and bamboo flooring. Believe it or not Moso has a tensile strength greater than corded steel, and can be used to manufacture bamboo flooring which is harder than Oak! live Moso bamboo is dark green in color, and dries to a rich deep brown hue.
Tonkin Bamboo is a multi use bamboo that is good for fencing and decorative applications such as tiki bars, Tonkin is one of the most versatile species of bamboo in the world. Tonkin varies in coloration and can be harvested when it's a bright, dark green, vibrant green, tan, or kiln cured to a rich golden brown. Tonkin fencing is much more durable than traditional pine fence and cedar fence. You're learning a lot aren't you!
My favorite bamboo pole is Robert Young. Robert Young is bright yellow and takes on several beautiful variations. Poles with green-striped accents are rare and cost more. The solid color pole are just as desirable and boasts one of the brightest colors in the bamboo family. Only a few poles per grove produce a solid green stripe along the column. The type of stripe you'll find changes from a thin line to a series of unique variations, providing a brilliant contrast of green on yellow. At Southern Bamboo, our Robert Young groves produce perhaps 1 in 1,000 poles produces a green pole. Usually this type of growth will create a green pole with a yellow stripe or green pole with a darker green stripe.
