			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tom Thomsen, the owner of Southern Bamboo Inc. In this article Tom will bring to surface several species of bamboo that grow here in America. Southern Bamboo was founded in 2011 and offers timber bamboo poles as well as beautiful ornamental poles for indoor or outdoor display. Quality bamboo pole that are available for resale are treated with a UV coating to ensure a long lasting beauty and customer satisfaction. For more utilitarian purposes consumers should look for Henon, Moso and Tonkin, the strongest species of bamboo usually utilized when one is building tiki bars, fencing, gazebos and flooring.</p>
<p>Bamboo from China is usually low quality. If you&#8217;re looking for high quality bamboo that doesn&#8217;t get nearly as damaged during shipping you should look for Southern Bamboo, all of our bamboo is 100% home-grown in the Southern United States. American bamboo groves can produce a wide variety of decorative and timber <a target='_blank' href="http://southernbamboo.us" title="bamboo poles">bamboo poles</a>. &#8220;Made in America&#8221; bamboo harvesters know what they&#8217;re doing and bamboo poles are hand-selected and harvested. Many types of timber bamboo is kiln-dried to preserve strength and natural dry color. Contrary to decorative bamboo poles which are treated and coated with a protectant, which ensures that their beautiful, natural color will endure the test of time.</p>
<p>Depending on indoor/outdoor pole placement and the amount of daily direct sunlight poles are exposed to, some people may experience slight color fading over time. But when treated properly bamboo will maintain color and vibrancy for extended periods of time. Certain types of bamboo poles do better than other based on the application you apply to the bamboo, let&#8217;s look at a couple types of bamboo species and the setting in which one can apply them.</p>
<p>Moso Bamboo is most widely used in the manufacturing of lumber products and bamboo flooring. Believe it or not Moso has a tensile strength greater than corded steel, and can be used to manufacture bamboo flooring which is harder than Oak! live Moso bamboo is dark green in color, and dries to a rich deep brown hue.</p>
<p>Vivax Bamboo is extremely green in color, it could be used to reflect light! Silver rings grow upon each node on Vivax bamboo which makes it a beautiful decorative pole for indoors or outdoors applications. If kiln cured, Vivax bamboo loses some of its green brightness and turns from a bright green to a varying array of hues ranging from purple to brown and many in-between.</p>
<p>My favorite bamboo pole is Robert Young. Robert Young is bright yellow and takes on several beautiful variations. Poles with green-striped accents are rare and cost more. The solid color pole are just as desirable and boasts one of the brightest colors in the bamboo family. Only a few poles per grove produce a solid green stripe along the column. The type of stripe you&#8217;ll find changes from a thin line to a series of unique variations, providing a brilliant contrast of green on yellow. At Southern Bamboo, our Robert Young groves produce perhaps 1 in 1,000 poles produces a green pole. Usually this type of growth will create a green pole with a yellow stripe or green pole with a darker green stripe.</p>
<p>Southern Bamboo sells <a target='_blank' href="http://southernbamboo.us" title="bamboo poles">bamboo poles</a> that are grown,harvested and distributed in the USA. We&#8217;re a Jackson Mississippi based company that provides the highest quality bamboo poles in the world. We will ship anywhere in the U.S.A.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The demand for bamboo for use in decorating as well as in other areas is on the increase these days, as more and more people turn to ways in which we can be more environmentally friendly.</p>
<p>Using bamboo as a product is doing the environment a favor instead of opting for synthetic, non-biodegradable and chemical-laden products. Bamboo is an eco-friendly material being a renewable resource in the environment. It is the fastest growing plant that easily replenishes after harvest. It also produces more oxygen and biomass making it a paramount agent in reducing carbon dioxide. More bamboos and there will be more help in fighting global warming. To add to bamboo&#8217;s eco-friendly qualities, its dense litter feeds the topsoil through its root system, which helps save water and prevents soil erosion. Talk about a wonder plant!</p>
<p>Bamboo is great for functional purposes mainly because of its durability. However, it&#8217;s not lacking in the looks department either. Therefore, decorative items and furniture made of bamboo are sought after goods.</p>
<p>Bamboo furniture has been used for a long time, especially in sunrooms and conservatories. But you can use it anywhere in the house you like because it is lightweight, long-lasting and attractive. A bamboo headboard can make an excellent accessory for your bed. You can add to this entire effect with a bamboo framed mirror to match</p>
<p>Bamboo can be made into decorative features, simply by placing a few sticks artistically in a large vase or behind the sofa. In a child&#8217;s room or games room, you could even make a huge tic-tac-toe game on the floor using bamboo sticks.</p>
<p>Redoing the entire home interior with bamboo is not exactly needed, especially if you&#8217;re wary of spending money. You can just add a few pieces and accent the existing furniture. For example, have a bamboo-made laundry hamper, a bamboo rocking chair, a bamboo-made table in the deck or garden, or a small cabinet made of bamboo in the family room.</p>
<p>The easiest and least expensive way to incorporate bamboo into your home is by using area rugs. Rugs made of bamboo are available in different colors, sizes and styles. You can decorate every room in the house with this piece and quickly transform your home into a comfy, natural-looking place.</p>
<p>If you only wish to place bamboo area rugs in selected rooms, prioritize the high-traffic areas, such as the kitchen and porch. Why so? It&#8217;s because bamboo rugs are highly durable that they can prevent easy wear and tear. You might have noticed that most outdoor rugs are made of bamboo. They sure are credible for their resistant quality.</p>
<p>There are so many uses of bamboo and maximizing them for your home decorations is a step to creating an attractive home. More importantly, supporting bamboo-made products makes you an advocate of environmental protection as well. It doesn&#8217;t just become a leisure shopping and decorating project but wise consumerism at the same time.</p>
