General information on bamboo culm harvesting and how to obtain these culms free of charge

Over 300 bamboo species were cultivated on the grounds of Baan Sammi, Doi Saket District, Chiang Mai Province, several years ago. The number of species has been reduced over the years, and as of September 2025, only approximately 50 different bamboo species remain.

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 one person: you, or another person accompanying you who will carry out the assisting work. We saw off all the culms at their bases 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 onto the person's pickup truck. This person can receive all harvested culms for free if they want them.

We cut the culms ourselves at their bases using a reciprocating saw (left).
To pull a culm out of the bamboo clump, one person (male or female) is needed (center).
You or your team must load all the desired culms (and also branches, if wanted) onto your vehicle (right).
