LATIN NAME: Bambusa tuldoides
COMMON NAME: Punting Pole Bamboo
The punting pole bamboo is the tall, green stand of the old villages, and the fine, leafy branches arch from the smooth, green culms. The tall, evergreen, clumping bamboo carries the smooth, green culms with the white rings at the nodes and the narrow, lance-shaped leaves on the fine, arching branches, one of the fine, bold sights of the bamboo grove. The culms have a very long record as the fine, strong poles of the old craft, and the plant is a fine, historic presence of the old villages. It is a plant of the open, sunny, deep, moist, well-drained ground.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The punting pole bamboo is a historic subject of the plant science, and the green culms keep showing up in the work on the bamboo group. The way the culms rise fast and hold the strength of the poles has been studied steadily, and it keeps appearing in the studies of the bamboo crops, the clumping bamboos and the members of the grass family. The smooth, green culms and the fine, arching branches have also made it a fine study plant, and the punting pole bamboo is a regular subject of the work on the green stands of the warm world.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
The punting pole bamboo is a fine, bold plant of the bamboo grove and the old villages. The smooth, green culms have a very long record as the fine, strong poles of the old craft, cut for the punting poles, the fine furniture and the baskets of the warm villages, and the narrow, lance-shaped leaves on the fine, arching branches make the fine, green screen of the grove. The plant is one of the fine choices for the bamboo grove, the screen and the study collection, and it has been written up in the horticultural and the cultural papers for the strong poles and the very long history. It is a fine, bold plant of the open, sunny, deep, moist, well-drained garden.
Give the young bamboo a warm, sheltered spot and the steady moisture, and the culms will rise fast.
Give the young bamboo a warm, sheltered spot and the steady moisture, and the culms will rise fast.
To grow the punting pole bamboo from seed, sow the large, round seeds a centimetre down in a tray of gritty seed compost, keep the tray in a warm, bright spot and water gently, then set the young plants out in the open ground. The seedlings are up within a few weeks and grow on steadily. With the sun, the warmth and the deep, moist, well-drained ground, the green stand will rise through the years.
