trellis with yellow bamboo.

They were doing landscape facelift further up the road, which included removing 3 clusters of yellow bamboo. I asked them to bring those bamboo to my place instead of throwing somewhere.  The bamboo are long, not bothering to cut them to shorter length I just stake them as trellis. They really look very tall and I think zehneria or timun tikus (seeds from Cambodia) would find the height very enticing.  Zehneria are known to grow to a height of 15 feet.

    1. Benih dari Cambodia, ambil waktu kesana. orang sana kata pucuk boleh buat sayur, buahnya sedikit pahit, tapi tetap boleh makan. Famili timun tikus jugak....
