Nursery checklist

Before you buy bamboo seedlings

Start with your planting purpose, the conditions on your land and the number of plants you need. Confirm the details with the nursery before reserving stock.

Species and intended use: Ask for the species name and check that the plant suits your site and intended use, such as poles, farm infrastructure or landscape restoration.
Seedling quality: Ask how the plants were propagated and hardened for field planting. Check that the plants are healthy and that the nursery can identify the source of its planting material.
Stock and delivery: Confirm the quantity, price per plant and collection or delivery date. Have your district, sub-county and parish or ward ready for the supplier.
