Anyone can get these plants for free: private individuals, including gardeners and nurserymen.
Tools:
You must provide all the tools and any other materials required to dig up, divide, and transport those bamboo plants you want to receive for free. Here, we advise you which tools and other materials are needed. Please follow the link below, which shows pictures of suitable tools, along with notes in the picture info.
● A siam (เสียม) is essential for digging, e.g., #1, #2, or #11, the heavier(!), the stronger, the better.
● A short(!) sharp handsaw #9, mainly to saw off the underground rhizome neck is needed, at least for necks of the thicker rhizomes.
● Alternatively, with the combination of #12 and #6, the rhizome neck can be hacked off instead of sawn off.
● Any handsaw, e.g., #9, #10, #13, #14, #15, to trim bamboo culms before digging the propagule out.
● Alternatively, bamboo culms can be cut off with a sharp machete, provided the culm diameter is not too large, or the culm is not too strong.
● Big sacks to keep and transport the bamboo material are needed. Avoid letting the roots dry out.
● When transporting bamboo in a pickup truck, you may need to cover the bamboo with a large tarp to protect its roots, rhizomes, and leaves from sunlight and wind.
Here is an example of the excavation of a bamboo propagule step by step:
