Comments on use types:
The wall and fibre of this bamboo species is rigid and not suitable for splitting. It
is therefore not used for handicrafts, but for house construction and fencing. Harvesting is all year round for culms aged three years and older. Shoots are moderately harvested, mostly in the middle of rainy season (August-September) and consumed locally or sold at local markets 15,000-20,000 per kg. Culms are heavily harvested, but collectors often choose older culms. Canes are sold for 15,000 kip per each. Mai sanot is easy to propagate by stump and seed and in its original upland/sloping habitat is suitable for erosion prevention.
