Cubbon Park to flaunt new varieties of bamboos

BENGALURU: Cubbon Park’s 40-year-old bamboo timber, which have began withering, will quickly be replaced with vibrant varieties.
The timber, which just lately flowered indicating that they are nearing their finish, can be lower and changed over the next month. “There are more than 40 types of bamboo, both native and foreign, on the Kerala Forest Research Institute (KFRI), and we are hoping to convey some to Bengaluru. These varieties come with black, yellow, light and dark inexperienced bamboo. We can be changing all 200 timber,” said Mahantesh Murgod, deputy director of Cubbon Park.

The new varieties can be procured handiest after the forest division offers its clearance and provides an estimate.


Regulars at Cubbon Park, despite the fact that saddened by the loss of life of the bamboos, are happy new ones can be procured. “Bamboo crops are an integral part of Cubbon Park, and while it's sad that they are decaying, it’s great that authorities have taken the initiative to exchange them. This method, the new generation can revel in their attractiveness,” said Shaista Yacoob, 43, who walks in the park each and every Sunday.


For Radhika Chaliha, co-founder of Yoga Mat-ters, the bamboo timber were the very best backdrop to accomplish yoga. “Gushing throughout the grove, the wind made a phenomenal sound, which used to be very enjoyable. To suppose that those timber won't exist any more is gloomy but understanding they're going to be substituted is a blessing,” she said.


Stating the new saplings could be planted handiest in mid-July, Mahantesh said: “After we remove the existing timber, an auction can be held, and handiest after that may we touch KFRI and obtain the new crops. Bamboo grows speedy and the saplings will achieve the peak of the current timber in two years.”
