Bamboo

clip_image001Bamboo is a rapidly renewing resource that matures in three years. There has just recently been a bamboo introduced as certified to meeting various environmental production or preservation standards, so it is important to try to learn as much as you can about the bamboo you are interested in before purchasing it. Most bamboo is grown in Asia and the impact of transporting it to the United States market should be considered.

Benefits of Bamboo:

  • Rapidly renewing
  • Quickly matures
  • Regenerates without replanting
  • Requires minimal fertilization or pesticides
