English Name:  Giant Bamboo


Botanical Name:  Dendrocalamus asper


Indonesian Name:  Bambu Petung


Javanese Name:  Pring Betung


Dimensions:  6000mm x >110mm x >110mm


Cutting Cycle:  3 Years +


Name:  Called 'Betung' in Indonesian & 'Petung' in Javanese. In the west it is generally called Giant Bamboo for obvious reasons & due to the large nodes is sometimes called rough giant bamboo. 'Asper' in Latin also means rough or coarse. In China it is known as Dragon Bamboo.


Character:  This dense clumping bamboo (sympodial) species is huge. Growing up to 30 Metres in height & 180mm in diameter. It has hairy & very pronounced nodes which are sometimes fairly close together, especially towards the base of the stems. The walls are also very thick & structurally very strong. Colour can be fairly variable whilst growing (green, brown or black) but fades to a dull light brown after seasoning.


General Uses:  Been very large & strong, this variety is commonly used for structural building purposes, but is also edible as young shoots. Not generally suited for weaving applications, but is still used in hand crafts where size is important, such as furniture or garden structures. As a living plant it can be used to stop soil erosion.


Sourcing:  All of our bamboo is grown in Java, Indonesia. Mostly in our local area of Blitar, East Java but also from Central area's & West Java if required. It is sustainably managed & cut by hand, using only hand tools.


Harvesting:  All our bamboo poles are harvested by hand, using hand tools. The side shoots are removed & are then cut to length before been transported to our drying area for seasoning. They are mostly cut during the 'dry' season, which makes the bamboo more durable, less prone to damage, easier to handle & quicker to season.


Storage:  They are dry stored in well ventilated units off of the ground, in small stacks to avoid any crushing & to maintain straightness.


Shipping:  As a loose full container load, either 20ft (approx x400) or 40ft (approx x800).
