CHINESE TSINGLEE CANES
For many years BHGS has been involved in the
importation of Chinese canes. During that time we have
gained valuable experience regarding the provinces
which produce the favoured bamboo for our U.K.
horticultural requirements.
The majority of canes are sold by weight per 100 canes,
although in some cases we are also able to procure canes
with a specific mm butt size.
The journey by boat from China takes approximately
4–6
weeks, but delays can occur in customs at the
preferred ports of Southampton and Felixstowe. We can
ship canes all year round but bear in mind that China
closes completely at the beginning of February for their
New Year.
BHGS is also able to offer, subject to advanced ordering,
millimetre grading canes where higher specification is
required. Minimum quantities apply
Following is a list of canes normally held in stock but
seasonal variations may apply and bale sizes may vary.
