He was very informative and helped me to select a bamboo that would grow in my climate in a potted container. The bamboo arrived promptly without damage. The Bamboo is doing great. I would definitely order from them again. Great prices, great customer service. I signed up on this site to give them a positive review. All too often I think we as a society only post when it's negative. I feel it is important to give positive feedback when it is deserved. |

Not only do they deliver great plants but their communication and customer service is top notch. I've ordered from them 4 times and every time it was the same. Perfect. I've ordered plants on a Sunday and a Monday morning. They had the plants shipped that same Monday all 4 times. That is amazing! Quick response to any questions, email confirmation of orders and properly containerized plants. The latter is one of the most important when ordering bamboo. Some vendors will send out plants that weren't given enough time to fill the pot with proper root development. Basically you would order a 2 gallon plant but technically get a 1 gallon. Not with Lewis. The plant you receive from them has been containerized sufficiently. As a bamboo geek the only issue I have is wishing they had more types of bamboo available. I promise you they are one of the best bamboo vendors on the Internet. |

I came across Lewis Bamboo online and sent an inquiry. Roger quickly replied and after several email strands, I placed a large order. Like any online purchase, especially a large one, I was concerned and a little hesitant. But I received my 8 plants and was pleased. But that was step one and now I had to get them into the ground and then ultimately not kill them in the long run. Along the entire planting process and initial weeks of caring for the bamboo, i would email the company and receive a very speedy response to assist me through the initial process of getting the bamboo established. Even months after I received the plants I can email Roger with any questions no matter how silly or stupid they may seem and I ALWAYS get a same day response. Their level of superior customer service and attentiveness to their customers or potential customers past and present has really made this experience truly remarkable and makes me want to order more bamboo even if I don't have a place for it right now. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for healthy bamboo plants and a company that will hold your hand through the tricky process of buying, planting and caring for bamboo. I have no doubt in my mind that I can email Lewis Bamboo 3 years from now after my initial purchase and get a quick helpful respond on any questions that I may have regarding the health of my bamboo plants! BUY FROM LEWIS BAMBOO!!!! |

The ones planted in full sun did the best, ones in semi shade took longer to take off, but they have. I ordered two more varieties this year and they were packaged so well that even if the box were tipped upside down there wouldn't be any movement or breakage. They were very helpful through their web site, e-mail & telephone. I would certainly purchase from them again. What a tremendous variety they have too. |

The lady who may answer the phone is a mother running a family and the books of the business so if you need warm and fuzzy hand-holding ask to speak with her husband. The site clearly says some items may be out of stock, which is rare. The plants grow underground initially to get established so wait through the next summer of whenever you order to judge but not a single plant of multiple varieties died here in NJ; they are thriving in a novice's hand. |

I love family and I love a family run place. They really take care of you and treat you like a family. I am their number one fan in all of Northern Arkansas (online). I wouldn't even think of going anywhere else. I cannot thank you enough for sharing your generosity and knowledge of bamboo. You have inspired me to start selling, not that I'll ever be as good as you! |

Positive | NW_FLA (1 review) | On Jun 2, 2010, NW_FLA Shalimar, FL wrote: Product was well packaged, shipped on schedule, and was exactly what was ordered, 2 gallon Red Margin bamboo, which was very healthy and every bit as large as one could hope for. Telephone order taking was prompt and curteous, altogether a very pleasant experience. |

Six this time. I must brag again about the shipping. The plants arrive healthy, well packed, labeled and ready to grow. Simply use a pair of scissors to cut the packaging away. We prefer to leave the newspaper on the plants so as not to disturb the roots, of which there are plenty. In the ground less than a week and we're already seeing new shoots. I'm surprised Lewis does not have more customer ratings, though it could be due to the fact that many people are not fully educated that not all bamboo is alike. We will definitely order again. Thank you, Rachel and all. |

They arrived well packed in boxes and looking real good. The roots were well established. So far, they still look just as healthy planted outside since then. The cold weather in the 20's we had a couple of times did not even phase them. I look forward to new shoots growing this Spring. |

Both arrived well packed, healthy, and in excellent condition. This year's new leaf-buds are just starting to elongate. They were very nice over the phone and shipped the plants exactly when I needed them. Will buy from them again if I find more space for bamboo ; ) |

The shipment was fast and packaging was done by someone who knew exactly what he was doing. The care this company has for its plants as well as customers was very apparent to me. I have emailed a few times with questions about my purchase and always get helpful, timely responses. The quality of the bamboo is excellent, meaning it was a strong division, well dug, and had little transplant shock. Great company! |
