Tonkin sticks, also called plant stakes, are thin but sturdy bamboo sticks which are widely used for their stability. They are ideal for horticultural applications, such as crop support, plants and flowers. Thanks to the minimal variation in diameter over the length of the stick, they offer reliable support. In addition, the Tonkin bamboo stick has a thick wall, which provides extra strength and the possibility to place them mechanically in the ground.

The Tonkin bamboo pole with a diameter of 28/30 mm and a length of 420 cm is perfect for supporting large plants and guiding trees. This product is directly available from stock and can be picked up in Beverwijk. Whether you need one bamboo stick or a bundle, at Masters of Bamboo you benefit from competitive prices and fast delivery times.

Diameter: The diameter of each bamboo Tonkin stick is precisely measured at the base, which is the thickest side of the stick. Because bamboo is a natural product, the diameter of this stick can vary between 28/30 mm. For specific projects we advise to select the sticks yourself to find the right size.
Natural Progression: A typical characteristic of bamboo poles is the natural gradient progression in thickness, the base of the pole/stick is thicker than the top. How strong this gradient is depends on the type of bamboo and the length of the pole. With this bamboo stick the gradient is 5% over a length of 1,5 meters
Straight Bamboo Stick: Tonkin sticks are known for their straight shape. Although they are generally quite straight, bamboo remains a natural product, so 100% perfectly straight sticks cannot be guaranteed.
Vertical Cracks: Like wood, bamboo expands or shrinks with changes in temperature or humidity, which can cause vertical cracks in the bamboo. This is a natural process. These cracks do not affect the strength of the stick and are part of the character of the material.
Strong and Durable: Tonkin poles are exceptionally strong and flexible, making them highly resistant to stress and long-lasting. They are ideal for structural and support applications.
Lightweight: Despite their strength, Tonkin bamboo poles are lightweight, making them easy to handle for a variety of projects, from gardening to construction.
Sustainable Natural Product: Bamboo is an environmentally friendly material because it grows quickly and is sustainable. The production of bamboo has a low impact on the environment, making it a sustainable choice.

Support for small and large plants: Tonkin sticks are perfect for supporting tomato plants, rose bushes and large plants, for example, so that they grow beautifully and firmly.
Guiding (espalier) trees: Place Tonkin sticks next to espalier trees to keep them upright, especially in the early growth stages. This helps to create a firm base, which allows the trees to develop better.
Kitchen garden and vegetable garden: Use Tonkin sticks to support vegetables and fruits such as tomatoes, beans, peas, cucumbers and grapes. They ensure that your plants in your vegetable garden grow upright and do not fall over.
Plant climbing frame: You can easily make a climbing frame for your plants from bamboo. This is ideal for guiding roses, climbers or bean plants. Tonkin sticks are light and strong, allowing you to create a sturdy frame.
Bamboo hedge support: If you have a bamboo hedge that is sagging due to rain or snow, you can use Tonkin sticks to create a framework that will hold the bamboo in place. It looks natural and provides the necessary support.
Building with bamboo: Tonkin sticks are also widely used for construction projects, for example during team building activities and children's parties. With tonkin sticks, rope or elastic you can easily build towers, pyramids or other shapes. Due to their light weight, the sticks are easy to handle, which makes them ideal for creative construction projects.
Insect hotels: For making insect hotels, the Tonkin bamboo stick is very suitable. The hollow inside of the sticks offers a perfect hiding place for various insects. By sawing them into short pieces, you can easily fill an insect hotel.
Making bamboo flutes: Bamboo sticks are often used by music lovers who want to make their own bamboo flute. Their strength and hollow structure make them ideal for making this traditional musical instrument.
Bamboo fishing rod: The bamboo Tonkin rod can be used as a fishing rod for various fishing techniques, such as float fishing, bottom fishing or even fly fishing with lighter hooks.

Here are some ways you can work and use the bamboo tonkin stick:

Saw: Simply saw the Tonkin bamboo stick to the desired length with a fine-toothed saw. It is best to use a Japanese or bamboo saw. This ensures that you get a nice clean cut with minimal splintering.
Tie with rope: Use strong twine such as Manila or Palm twine to tie the poles securely together for garden structures or supports.
Secure with elastic: Elastic is ideal for quickly and flexibly attaching sticks to each other.
Drilling Holes: Make small holes in the sticks/poles to secure them with screws or wire.
Varnish or oil: Treat the sticks with a varnish or oil for extra protection or a nice finish.

These tips make bamboo tonkin sticks versatile and easy to use for a variety of projects!

Treating Tonkin Sticks

Tonkin sticks are often used in a natural way, such as in agricultural horticulture, in vegetable gardens, as support for plants, for building and as an insect hotel. This means that treating the bamboo is not necessary. If you want to protect the Tonkin stick, you can do so with Bamboo Booster Oil.

For the part of the bamboo that is placed in the ground, the choice can be made to treat it with Bamboo Ground Protector.

How Strong is Bamboo?

Bamboo is remarkably strong and durable; it is often compared to steel because of its high tensile strength. This means that bamboo can withstand great forces without breaking. This property makes it ideal for applications in construction, furniture, and other products that require robustness.
