Bamboo is considered a grass, not a tree.  It is a woody, perennial, evergreen plant.  Although it can grow to towering heights, approximately 1500 different species of bamboo exist on the planet that are native to every continent except Europe.

​

As the fastest growing plant on earth, bamboo can grow more than 45 inches in just one day!  Different species grow to different heights, starting from one foot tall and other dwarf varieties, to giant timber bamboos which are capable of growing to over 100 feet tall.

Environmentally, bamboo is an excellent choice for anyone looking to reduce their carbon footprint.  As a rapidly replenished resource, more and more bamboo products are being introduced in the U.S.A. as flooring, utensils, linens and more.
