Bamboo (bamboo subfamily) is a subfamily of tall tree like herbaceous plants in the Poaceae family, with 115 species and 1400 species. Bamboo is distributed in tropical, subtropical to temperate regions, with the highest density and quantity found on islands in East and Southeast Asia, as well as the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean. Bamboo flowers are rarely seen. Some types of bamboo bloom after 65 or 120 years
Fast growth rate: Some bamboo plants are the fastest growing on Earth, growing up to 25 centimeters per day during their growth phase, with recorded species growing over 100 meters per day. It only takes 6 months for the plant to grow to its final height, from 18 meters to 30 meters. Over the next 3-4 years, the woody structure of the sugarcane develops, matures, and is ready for harvesting. Bamboo grows rapidly, and in the same area, its yield is 20 times that of trees.
Among the numerous environmental advantages brought by the use of bamboo, the fact that bamboo forests are one of the largest environmental carbon dioxide collectors on Earth is particularly prominent. Species like bamboo can hold over 100 tons per hectare during each lifecycle. Compared to other plants, it releases 30% more oxygen into the atmosphere and absorbs more carbon dioxide.
