What is Tonkin Bamboo?
Tonkin Bamboo is the common name for the bamboo that is primary bamboo stake for staking plants around the world. It is characterized by a thick wall and smooth nodes. The stakes are fairly straight and tan in color(color can vary slightly from pole to pole) and the nodes are fairly far apart. It tapers slightly from top to bottom(not uniform in diameter top to bottom). It only grows to a maximum diameter of about 2. It is the ideal stake for staking plants although is has many other non agriculture or horticulture related uses. It is used in our fences. Bamboo is a natural product, no two pieces are exactly the same.
