When and why cutting bamboo ?
To avoid having a too high density of bamboo culms in your plantation, it is important to prun it every year. The life span of a bamboo culm is about 10 years. Indeed, the vascular bundles of the bamboo culm which are used to transport the sap become obstructed with time, which will lead to the death of the culm, which will thus dry out. These dry stems are not very nice, so it is important to remove them. By doing an annual thinning, it allows your bamboo plantation to renew itself more easily, leaving more space for new culms.
Bamboo pruning is usually done in autumn or winter. It is best to avoid doing it during spring when new shoots are coming out, as this can deplete your plantation. During this thinning, we will remove the canes of 4 years or more, and the unsightly canes. It is important to avoid removing the bamboo culms that came out the current year and the year before, as these are the culms that are most important for transporting nutrients to the new shoots the following year.
