I thought this is illegal to grow... I thought Blue gum was only illegal at the river frontage. Not sure whether it's 7 meters or 12 meters for select varieties. Ignorant Chiefs advocate for a total ban. Ask NEMA to clarify. Mubariti is useless as far as timber is concerned but ideal for firewood. There is ready market in tea factories. Information on Bamboo is all over the internet. Find time and visit KARI High-level, Aberdere farm near Kabati or even Kakuzi. I am sure you will get professional advice there. Do not play karata with your investment.

You can buy seeds from KEFRI-Muguga and make ur own nursery. Alternatively:ask any KTDA factory to do it for u and they will sell to you at cost! The opposite of courage is not cowardice, it's conformity.

You will get them at below 1 ft, I guess they are about a month old or so. during rains you have to book by paying money upfront.

Rank: Elder Joined: 5/25/2012 Posts: 4,105 Location: 08c		Thank you all for all the ideas, advice. We visited Kenya Forestry Muthaiga, they referred us to Kenya Forestry Muranga who advised us to push forward the tree planting project to April (Long rains). We anyhow planted a 100 or so as a team-building effort. Pesa Nane plans to be shilingi when he grows up.
