I can't even begin to enumerate the uses I have seen here for bamboo. Almost all scaffolding is bamboo. I thought I could find a picture I had of the first apartment building I lived in. They painted this 11 story building and all of the scaffolding was bamboo tied together with plastic ribbon or rope. Cooking, drain pipes, flower pots, eating, building, ladders, broom handles, curtains, mats, musical instruments...maybe more uses than coconut shells!

And some of it makes incredible decorative plantings .... red stems...
