Bamboo is a variety of grass and some species grow at an astonishing speed and height. China is developing a number of industries to use this versatile plant from building materials to microchips, fabrics and food. Hybrids are being explored to develop their potential.

It is one of the shortest members of the genus at 4 to 5 meters where some Phyllostachys can reach 30 meters. Origin China and Japan. La Bambouseraie of Cevennes, France | |
