39. Bonus: Roseann Classic on the Rise of Commercial Bamboo in the US

We've got a bonus episode for you this week! This is a follow-up to Episode 38 with Adam Turtle (who has been growing bamboo for decades and started a bamboo nursery in Tennessee). In this episode, I talk to Roseann Classic who is a rep for a bamboo company that partners with farmers to grow bamboo in Europe, China, and the US. We talk about the challenges of growing bamboo, the crop cycle, the varieties that they're using and exactly how they're planting them so it's a really interesting take on this.
