More info on bamboo:


bamboo, undoubtedly one of the world’s most remarkable plants. This member of the grass family contains more than 1,400 species spread out over 115 genera, including some which can grow over a meter a day.

But speed isn’t bamboo’s only characteristic. Some species display a tensile strength similar to steel. Some match up with hardwood lumber, and others far surpass concrete for PSI. It loves marginal land, sequesters 50% more carbon dioxide than typical trees, and some bamboo species even spark like flint when struck with an axe.

Ordinary untreated bamboo exposed to sun and rain can only last 4, 5 yrs and will start to crack
