In times like these, consider a bamboo trek
COVID-19 has really restricted our lives, but here is a fun trip to consider this coming weekend. Quindembo Bamboo Nursery in North Kohala is inviting folks to visit their impressive bamboo collection planted on 20 acres of old sugarcane and pasture land. It is sort of an open house nursery style that starts Friday and continues through Sept. 6. This will give you a sense of how some of these fabulous clumping bamboos will grow in a relatively short time and maybe how you might incorporate some of these species into your own landscape.
