Introduction to bamboo

Plant summary

Bamboo are perennial flowering grasses, botanically part of the subfamily Bambusoideae of the grass family Poaceae. Bamboos can be found on all continents, except Europe and Antarctica. Globally, over 1,500 bamboo species have been documented, divided into 115 genera.

Bamboo is mostly known for its culms, partially hollow and uniquely shaped through its distinctive nodes. Both total culm diameter and hole diameter greatly vary from species to species.

The same is for the size: While small species may barely reach a size of 1m, the culm height of a tropical giant bamboo can cross the 30m mark, and a culm diameter of 30cm. Bamboo has adapted to a range of topographic and climatic conditions and is comparably frugal in its requirements.

Renewable supply without replanting

From an economic perspective, it is important to understand the growth pattern of bamboo. Although it grows extraordinary fast in size (2nd fastest growth on Earth, after algae), it does need time to "mature", to harden and become woody.

Most bamboos reach maturity within 4-6 years. By that time, a bamboo culm has reached its peak mass and developed a range of favorable mechanical and chemical characteristics. Now it can be harvested and utilized for virtually countless applications.

Bamboo constantly produces new culms over decades and consequently allows continuous harvest patterns. Replanting is not required, as long as only matured culms are extracted. Exact specs are subject to the respective species.

Environmental multi-talent

Not every bamboo qualifies for commercial use. Yet, the ones that do combine fast growth and constant reproduction with excellent material properties.

In addition comes a range of environmental benefits: Bamboo is a strong carbon sequester, producing up to 35 percent more oxygen than a similarly-sized hard wood tree. Furthermore, it is beneficial for soil health and serves as habitat for countless mircrobes, insects and small animals. Strong rootedness effectively counters erosion and fortifies hills and riverbanks.

Properly managed, bamboo is a sustainable, renewable and ecologically highly valuable resource. Quality bamboo can not only susbtitute timber, plastic, and even steel in many fields - it can even be eaten, or utilized as energy crop.
