I live about 7 miles from there and pass by it everyday going to work. The "Bamboo Farm" as its called by locals is about 50 acres and currenty run by the University of Ga, It was originally used as a research site to see if paper could be made from bamboo fibers.

They have hundreds of different varieties of plants growing there. They grow strawberries and allow folks to come in and pick their own and then sell them by the pound. Some of the bamboo on the roadside must be 40-50 feet tall. I haven't been inside the place in years, but now I'm gonna have to stop in soon and see what varieties of banana they have.
