Thanks for the link John, and it was a good read. However, I have seen some bamboo stands take direct hurricane force winds (80 to 100mph winds), and much of the bamboo snapped like matchsticks. Now granted these were just a few stands of large tropical clumpers and not acres of running, timber bamboo. I believe in order for it to truly protect a homestead one would need a house surrounded by several acres of timber bamboo. Even then if you are banking your life on the bamboo to save it in the event of a direct hit from a CAT 4 or CAT 5 hurricane you'd have to be crazy!
I'm also curious, is that your website???
