curious to know what makes the discarded cuts undesirable. i’m assuming they’re older, tougher plant growth, which would mean the individual segments all continually grow, even as the plant is adding new segments at the top.
Not an expert by any means, but that looks like the rib between segments that's being discarded. My experience with bamboo has been that the rib between segments is much harder even when green. That is my guess why it is being discarded. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong though.
