Bambusa vulgaris forms moderately loose clumps and has no thorns. It has lemon-yellow culms (stems) with green stripes and dark green leaves. Stems are not straight, not easy to split, inflexible, thick-walled, and initially strong. Planted a little over 3 years ago from a cutting and has now grown into an impressive cluster. It is widely used as an ornamental plant,[29] and is very popular as that as the machining properties are poor and its high carbohydrate content makes it susceptible to attacks from@fungi and insects. It often is planted as fences and border hedges. It is also planted a measure for erosion control. Although not ideal for construction, with proper care, the stems or culms can be used for fencing and construction, especially of small, temporary shelters, including flooring, roof tiles, panelling, and walls made wither with culms or split stems. The culm is used to make many parts of boats including masts, rudders, outriggers, and boating poles. It also is used to make furniture, basketry, windbreakers, flutes, fishing rods, tool handles, stakes, weapons, bows for fishing nets, smoking pipes, irrigation pipes, distillation pipes, paper pulp and more. #growninhaiti #goldenbamboo #bambusavulgaris #bamboo #grass #haiti #ayiti #reforestation #preservation #mountainlife #growth #stripes https://www.instagram.com/p/BpOAWgsHUo8/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jq1spbuyhgox
