Light. Versatile. African.
Native to the African lowlands, Oxytenanthera abyssinica, commonly known as lowland bamboo, is one of the most widely distributed bamboo species across sub-Saharan Africa. Its semi-solid culm structure gives it a natural strength advantage over hollow bamboo of similar size, making it ideal for:
Garden stakes, bean poles, and agricultural support structures
Light fencing and boundary demarcation
Craft work, basket weaving, and furniture making
Eco-friendly crating, packaging, and rural construction
Agroforestry and erosion control applications
Locally sourced and sustainably harvested in Kenya, our lowland bamboo supports smallholder farmers and reflects our commitment to keeping Africa's bamboo resources in African hands.
