Another photo of a bamboo wedding arch

So many of our customers purchase bamboo poles to build beautiful but inexpensive wedding arches or chuppahs. The customer who sent the photo below used the poles for a beach wedding.  When that is done, usually 10' long poles are needed so that about 2' of the pole can be buried in the sand.  The remaining 8' is high enough for the wedding party to stand under while still having plenty of height left over to drape fabric over the top, as shown in the picture.  Any of our different types of bamboo poles work well for a wedding arch but the imported poles and the domestically grown designer poles are the most popular. 

West Indies Resort Wear uses Beautiful Bamboo poles in recent show display

"I've been told I have the BEST booth in the show," writes the owner of West Indian Resort Wear.  The repeat customer used our Designer-quality Domestically-grown bamboo poles to display her selection of sarongs, tees, resort wear, jewelery and other tropical-themed products at a recent trade show in Orlando. 

Arrow running bamboo

Below are several photos of Arrow running bamboo (Pseudosasa japonica) in 3-gal and 7-gal containers.

Arrow is unique among running bamboos because it tends to combine features of a running bamboo with those of a clumping variety. A cluster of canes will grow together and then a few feet away more clusters will appear. Another unique characteristic of Arrow is the way this bamboo's large leaves appear only on the upper third of the plant. Very tropical looking, Arrow does well in large containers. Although it likes sun, Arrow also thrives in shady locations. 

As you can see from the pictures, the bamboos are bursting out of the plastic pots.  Once planted, the runners will take off and send up multiple new shoots.

Another bamboo bike built from Beautiful Bamboo poles

Another bamboo bike built with poles from Beautiful Bamboo.  Our customer, who is from Kansas City, Missouri, chose to use the Domestically Grown, Designer-Quality bamboo for most of the larger pieces as well as a few smaller diameter pieces of homegrown bamboo. 

Bamboo Tipi

There are many uses for bamboo poles. Chris from Weirsdale, FL used some of our homegrown poles as the supports for a tipi.  The poles, all less than 2" diameter and between 12' - 15' long, were slender and lightweight.

"Easy to work with. I love them!" Chris wrote.
