Thu Apr 16 05:35:17 PDT 2015

Bamboo canes are great for trellising climbing vegetables as someone else mentioned, and probably would be good for roses and vines, too.  Cut pieces of smaller canes, when bundled together, make excellent pollinator habitat:

Hi, Marc!

Have you heard of any useful environmentally friendly ideas what to do with removed bamboo trees? 

I just received a call from one of our volunteers, and I don't have a clue where to turn...
