4. Bamboo is one of the most sustainable building material
on the planet is termed as vegetable steel with a tensile
strenght of 28000 per square inch.
Bamboo contains high level of starch which attracts
insects without proper treatment.
Bamboo has a natural durability of less than 2 years.
5. One of the fastest growing plant on earth.
Its growth rate ranges from 30cm to 1m in 24 hours.
Species like genus dendrocalamus and bambusa have the
best properties for structural applications.
1450 species are found in diverse climate across the world
7. The American Bamboo Society (ABS) writes, "There are more
than 70 genera divided into about 1,450
species. Bamboo are found in diverse climates, from cold
mountains to hot tropical regions." They observe that, while
bamboo, generally speaking, is a fast-growing plant, growth
rate will depend on growing conditions.

grass, bamboo is characterized by a jointed stem called
a culm. Typically the culms are hollow but some species
of bamboo have solid culms.
