Interesting facts about bamboo, its the tallest grass on earth and fastest growing plant in the world.
Bamboo can be used as a building material and young shoots are edible. Bamboo is more difficult to compress than brick, wood or concrete. It is harder to pull apart than steel. It rots a lot slower than many other woods. I have read that it is about 35% more efficient at converting carbon dioxide into oxygen than most other trees. I think we should grow more bamboo!
I heard its invasive. Maybe if the conditions are just right. My dad planted two clumps of bamboo some 50 years ago. I was a small child. There are still two clumps, there are more stalks but its hardly taking over.
