We recently inspected one of our Bamboo Partners bamboo fields in Bartow, Florida and we were blown away at the progress. The results far exceeeded our expectiions:

1. We can hit the 40 to 50 LBS per clump, minimum production of bamboo sprouts per season.

2. This means that the minimum yield we always promoted, can be reached; the minimum is $ 15,000 per acre per year gross up to $25k/$30k where timber/Canes yield account for $ 3 to 4,000 per acre per year gross. Maturity can be reached years 6 to 9 after planting; acts of nature, proper management, and many other variables may affect these results.

3. Jack in Bartow is probably the most successful bamboo farmer, and only 2 years and 9 months after planting he reached the miracle vision we always have talked about.

4. This means a lot to our organization, because we have many successful as Jack, but this field says, that all our farmers have the same potential and the only difference is the management, soil, and few other factors!
.
5. And we reached this conclusion on a field not even 3 years old !!
Imagine what will happen here in year 7 or 9, when usually Asper reaches maturity !?!?

6. Jack and his son in law ( William ), which are probably the top farmers we dealt with ( I told you many weeks ago, to pay special attention to blueberry farmers and learn from them, they are known as the top in this industry for a simple reason) have declared, that they may take also of 100 acres field, without big need of labor, as it was not that difficult to manage this 5 acres !

Their keys to success are :
A. Electric pumps not diesel-powered ;
B. Fertirrigate with 5 to 10 LBS of 20.20.20 x acre per month ;
C. 15 to 25 Gallon of water per clump per day, which is a lot, but only if the soil allows it ;
D. Prune the unnecessary side branches when you can, not a Must, but it is a plus ;
E. And for other tips contact us at Corporate.
7. We are already harvesting and selling their shoots from New York to San Francisco…
As we promised !!
This is happening every year, now, for the next 60 to 100 years!

It all depends on how we take care and we manage those fields!
We are all in awe, we couldn’t expect this in Bartow in less than 3 years from planting!
You will find a pic below, where the field was totally naked empty in March of 2018, just 6 months before we planted bamboo there.

Look at the size of the 1st sprout in that 1st pic our office Director has in her hands!

They had to cut the tip of that, in order to be able to sell it in the marketplace, because it was too big and they throw away the rest as it was too big !!

There is just simply no more to add, this pay us all back for all the efforts, headaches and the nonsense detractors that tried to stop us !!
