Structurally this makes good sense.
Aesthetically I find it to be repelling/obnoxious and disgusting- Personal preference.

I thought a few of you might
have some valuable insight to this discussion point on humanitarian bamboo
regarding the cutting of bamboo culms at or below ground level
for asthetic reasons and use in structural footings
