I would presume that you can buy bamboo plants in Italy, but having had a look around the web.it I didn't find any bamboo nurseries in Italy. But I did find a couple of italian bamboo appreciation clubs, so perhaps they could advise you how to source bamboo in Italy. You can certainly buy a wide range of bamboo in France, mainly in damper parts of France further N and W than the areas close by Italy: here is a list of specialist bamboo nurseries in France: http://www.pommiers.com/Pepiniere/bambou.htm You'll be able to source a wide range of Phyllostachys from France, and many others. But I doubt you'll find any Dendrocalamus, Gigantochloa or Guadua in France, because they are tropical/subtropical bamboos and aren't very hardy. Indeed being hardiness rated down to -1 or -2C, according to http://www.americanbamboo.org/Specie...blesIndex.html I wonder if they would survive in Tuscany anywhere other than close by the sea. They may also require a lot of water. I would suggest you post on http://www.bambooweb.info/bb/index.php which is a much more active specialist forum. |
