timber bamboo on Vancouver Island?
 

Hi
I'm wondering what to expect if I plant P. heterocycla pubescens or
P. vivax just south of Nanaimo. It's probably Zone 7-ish. Will I get useful
timber, say 3 inch, in a reasonable time?

The climate is OK for those two. Fertilizer,mulch and water will have a
great effect on how fast they reach a mature size.

Thanks, you've talked me into it. Are you getting as much
rain as we are?
