Bamboo as plant

Building with bamboo looks back on an ancient tradition in the regions in which plant grows in abundance, such as South America, Africa and, in particular, in South-East- Asia. Bamboo is one of the oldest construction materials.

Botanical classification

In 1778 Carl von Linné introduced the description bamboo into sience based on the indian word "Mambu" or "Bambu".The family of the gramineae (grasses) incorporates the subfamily of the bamboos. The gramineae also comprise the rice, corn and sugar cane. There are existing 500 different species of bamboo with partial some hundred subspecies.

The term bamboo describes all tree- or bush like grasses having a durable woody or branched stem.

The lignifying cell structure of the bamboo tissue and its technological properties are very similar to the wood tissue proper. Bamboo may therefore also be termed wood. Contrary to wood, the bamboo have a hard outer surface and is soft inside.

Characterised by the type of rhizome and the formation of upright canes there are three main groups of bamboo.

The first group is called monopodial bamboos.

They form long and thin extensions of the rhizome whose buds produce single shoots are regular intervals.

The sympodial bamboos constitute the second group. They have short, thick rootstocks the tips of which produce the canes.

The third group is called climbing bamboos. They can grow very irregularly and may form impenetrable thickets.
