bamboo poles

Asian plant rods

Bamboo poles are lengths of bamboo cut for use as building material, plant stakes, fishing rods, or decorative elements.

The hollow, segmented structure of bamboo makes these poles both lightweight and strong: We tied the tomato plants to bamboo poles.

They appear in construction scaffolding, martial arts training, and traditional crafts across Asian cultures.
