In our opinion, bamboo is the most beautiful plant growing on the planet. Not only is it ravishing in appearance, but it also serves as a valuable resource to mankind. The benefits it yields to society are vast; ranging from medicine to weaponry. Its utility and value has been a significant theme in Asian literature for centuries, and this notion is rapidly spreading into the western world. Bamboo literally has thousands of practical functions, including flooring, furniture, lumber, and art, just to name a few.
As the consequences of human expansion continue to become more apparent in today's world, we look to bamboo as a global elixir to heal our distressed planet. Bamboo is the fastest growing hardy plant in the world, and can colonize an area 3 times faster than a typical pine forest in the United States. Growing bamboo in a garden or landscape is an wonderful choice for you and our planet.
