How Long do I Need to Dry Bamboo to Prevent Rooting?
I live in North Carolina, USA. My neighbor is cutting down a large stand of bamboo. I would like to use some pieces to make garden trellises, but I don’t want the pieces to root. The pieces are 3 inches in diameter and about 15 feet long. How long do I need to dry them outside?
⭐ Best Answer:
Once the bamboo has lost its original green or glossy yellow color and turned into a pale beige, they won't root anymore. If you lay the bamboo outside in the sun for about a month they should be dry enough.
