Thorny Bamboo Clump Management | Angle Grinder Chainsaw | Bambusa blumeana / Kawayan Tinik (Part 1)

Unmanaged bamboo clumps can get unruly. Kawayan Tinik (Bambusa blumeana) is a thorny clumping/sympodial bamboo species that is super strong but also has evolved incredible defensive measures. I'll show you how I am starting to clean up this clump in Batangas, Philippines. I'm working to implement the horseshoe method developed by Arief Rabik from the Environmental Bamboo Foundation in Indonesia https://www.bambuvillage.org/. Kawayan Tinik is an incredibly strong bamboo species used for housing and furniture in the Philippines. We also use it to make our Bambikes www.bambike.com. Part 2 will come out around the end of September.
