Bamboo
noun
The kanji and the word are exactly the same. That means they share meanings as well!
たけ
Since this word is made up of a single kanji, it should use the kun'yomi reading which is also the reading you associated with the kanji, earlier.
ここに竹のフェンスがほしい。
I want a bamboo fence here.
この竹、大きすぎるよ。切って。
The bamboo is too large. Cut it.
すみません。竹用のチェーンソーを下さい。
Excuse me. I'd like a chainsaw for bamboo.
