Re: This looks interesting
Could be, they didn't state the species but it looks like a Dendrocalamus and that will not grow very far north in FL I think? Might be fine for deep south FL.

It'd be great if they can get it going in FL, I am a bit impressed that plants grew to 40' in 12-14 months! Those must have been some new shoots on mature plants.

looking at the company's website, I found this in the technical specifications section:

I think it can take a few degrees of frost but for a commercial investment I wouldn't want to risk one cold snap knocking me off-line for 2-3 years each time.
