Bamboo
Grove |
The Bamboo Grove is a circle of bamboos by
the creek at the bottom of the land. There are seven species
of bamboo - two with edible shoots: Dendrocalamus asper,
and Bambusa latiflorus, one that is good for tool
handles: Bambusa eutoildoides and one that is good
in the garden and as a hedge row: Bambusa multiplex.
There is also a convoluted willow, fig, English mulberry,
a titree hedge and wild raspberries.
