Cedar Mill Bamboo is located at our family residence just outside the city limits of
Portland, Oregon. We started collecting bamboo in 1996 and currently grow over 30 different species,
many of which are very rare in cultivation. My wife and I are proud members of the Pacific NW Chapter
of the American Bamboo Society. If you love bamboo join the American Bamboo Society and help promote the utilization of bamboo in our local area and worldwide.
Our garden is grown using
only organically inclined methods. We use natural organic soil ammendments such as home made compost, composted
steer manure and shredded leaves as garden mulches. Organic potting soil and fertilizer are used for containerized divisions.
We use organic fertilizer on plants in the ground sparingly. As a general rule we irrigate our bamboo only as needed during
the driest summer months. The garden is pesticide and herbicide free and depends on the natural environment of predator insects,
diversity of plants, birds and animal life to help manage any pests.
I need your help to
keep the garden free of bamboo mites. If you already own some bamboo; please don't touch, rub up against or go into your bamboo
groves prior to visiting. Bamboo mites can easily hitch a ride on your clothing or in your hair. Currently there are no known
natural predators for control. Thank you!
