Most species are useful bamboos with diameters of 3 to 10 cm, thick-walled or even solid on the lower culm, and lengths of 10 m and more.
To harvest the culms of these clumps, we need the help of at least one person. We saw off all the culms at the base ourselves, but all other work must be done by the person helping, e.g., cutting off the branches from the culms, and uploading the culms and branches onto the person's pickup truck. This person can receive all harvested culms for free if they want them.
If not all cut culms were taken away but remain, they will be offered to other people, also free of charge, through advertisements in up to 40 Chiang Mai Facebook groups, on Sam's Facebook page, Dieter's Facebook page, and on Sam's blog, BAMBOO AVAILABLE FOR FREE (ไม้ไผ่ให้ฟรี), or this blog in Thai (automatic translation by GoogleTranslate). So, if you want to get cut bamboo culms that meet your requirements, we need your help harvesting them.
Culms of other species, especially those with a lower height, small diameter, and thin walls, can be cut by ourselves and are also offered to everyone free of charge. These culms are not usually very suitable for construction purposes but for making furniture, handicrafts, and splitting the culms for various purposes, such as fence strips or pickets, and woven products such as basketry.
We at Baan Sammi do not offer bamboo culms for sale, nor do we have anyone who will transport and deliver bamboo poles to any destination for a charge.
