Oh... It's nothing special. We use bamboo because it's just a straight stick that you tie to the sapling for support. When it's big enough you remove it.

Thanks for adding to my nuggets of knowledge! What plants does your bamboo support? If you have a photo or two, I will love to show it to my son!

Also not a fan of eating bamboo shoots. I do like it for it's strength and how versatile it is. We use it for supporting plants. Thinking about growing it but it can get out of control if you aren't careful.
