— 13 FEBRUARY 2022 —

Species: Bambusa textilis var. gracilis and 2 dwarf species of Gigantochloa.

No longer available since the end of August 2021. However, if you are interested in this type of poles for the same use, please contact us, because poles of these bamboos will be available again later, intended from late February 2022.

Some 200 thin poles of a different species (Bambusa multiplex) ideal for the same use of supporting climbers (but for climbers up to only 2 m height) were available from late January to mid-February 2022. All poles were shredded and provided excellent material for compost.

The poles are thin, to about 1.5 cm in diameter and up to 5 m long. Some poles with different dimensions and different usability may also be available.
