Several seedlings (BS-0203A) were found in May 2023; their height was about 10–30 cm, and later reached 20–50 cm. All these seedlings were collected by early 2024, but in July 2024, we discovered three more field-grown seedlings of this species, which attained heights between 50 and 190 cm. They were pot into small PVC containers and are now offered free of charge.
This bamboo, ไผ่บงหวาน (phai bong wan), Bambusa burmanica (BS-0203), forms a dense clump of about 8 m in height when fully grown. The young shoots of the stem and twigs can be eaten raw. Two- and three-year-old stems can be used to make tools (e.g., handles) for house and garden. The plant is suitable for planting as a hedge or privacy screen and, with its dense upper branches and leaves, is a good nesting place for birds.
Our location: 15 km northeast of Chiang Mai.
