Some friends have a massive bamboo grove and gave us a bunch of cut pieces to use. I would like to make a trellis out of them for peas this year but am a little worried about the potential for rooting, since most of them were only cut within the last few days. I don't know what species of bamboo it is. Do I need to wait to use them or are they okay now?

I do this all the time and have never had any take root. But, as you say, the tendency could be species specific.

If you're worried, leave them in the sun for 3-5 days until the leaves are nice and wilted. I've never had mine root, but I've usually not stuck it in the ground the same day I chopped it. Normally, it would need some sort of growing point, so you need part of the rhizome, but I'm not familiar with any of the more aggressive bamboos.

You could also try burning the ends.

Thanks y'all for the reassurance!

That makes sense. I think having seen how crazy a plant it is, I just wanted to be absolutely certain. I already have Japanese knotweed and honeysuckle to contend with, so more plants who are crazy successful and bad at sharing are the last thing I need.
