Honestly this is an easy plant to propagate but I wanted to talk about it just in case someone things they can’t grow anything. I bet you could grow this! ❤️ these methods can also be used on any other similar grass type plant (monocots) such as bamboo or sugarcane. You could even do this with Bermuda grass if you really wanted.
This plant is the source of a lot of musical instruments. The material from this reed is used to make woodwind “reeds”. It’s considered invasive so be responsible where you grow it so it doesn’t “escape”. I live in the middle of the Arizona desert so if it tries to escape it will not survive. I’m the only one in my neighborhood who doesn’t have a zero scape yard.
One more way to use the sun to make biomass for regenerative agriculture.
Giant Reed grows rapidly in the summer and is arguable the best fixer of carbon of all plants, and would be a great candidate for massive carbon sequestration. Giant reed is an excellent option for alternative energy. I have heard that some parts of the plant, probably near the apical meristem, is edible.
Ancient Greeks used cane (called Kalamos: A. donax) to make flutes, known as kalamavlos; this is a compound word, from kalamos (cane) + avlos (flute).
At the time, the best cane for flutes came from the banks of river Kephissos, in Attica, Greece. Several kalamavlos tuned differently and tied together, made a syrinx or Panpipes. A. donax is still the principal source material of reed makers for clarinets, saxophones, oboes, bassoons, bagpipes, and other woodwind instruments.[41] The Var country in southern France contains the best-known supply of instrument reeds.
Additionally, giant reed has been used to make flutes for over 5,000 years. The pan pipes consist of ten or more pipes made from the cane. Also, the ancient end-blown flute ney (a) is made from the same reeds.
