Applications in Horticulture and Agriculture 1. Plant Support: Bamboo poles are often used to build trellises for climbing plants (such as kidney beans, cucumbers, and tomatoes). This helps the plants grow upward while maintaining good ventilation and light penetration, which is essential for their healthy development. 2. Flower Staking: In the cultivation of flowers like roses and Chinese roses, bamboo poles can be used to secure the plants and prevent them from lodging. This is particularly important for varieties with slender stems that may bend or break under the weight of blooms or due to strong winds.

3. Greenhouse Construction: Agricultural bamboo poles, such as those made from moso bamboo or bamboo species like Gelidocalamus (local name: Gaozhu), are widely used as the framework support for vegetable and fruit greenhouses. They offer a cost-effective and renewable alternative to metal or plastic frames for small to medium-sized greenhouse structures.
