Kenya: Growing bamboo in the greenhouse?

A Kenyan grower in Nyeri is using a greenhouse to grow bamboo. Mr George Mutahi Kiranga said bamboos have become a favourite for real estate investors and hoteliers who use it to beautify their premises.

“Businessmen, real estate investors and hoteliers have influenced me to plant even more bamboo plants,” he said.

Mr Kiranga has three tree nurseries, two situated at a suburb of Nyeri Town and one at his residential home in Kiandu Village.
