Sort of a weird idea I've gotten.
Bamboo, for those who don't know, has a wide variety of commercial uses, including textiles, paper, food, medicine, etc. Its a versatile, easy to grow crop that is best of all perennial (meaning it doesn't need to be planted year after year) Additionally, its native range is in the humid subtropical climates of the planet, which America has.
So I'm wondering, could bamboo cultivation have ever taken off en masse in what is now the United States as a major crop for... whatever I suppose?
