    BEAUTIFUL BAMBOO

    Bamboo has long been woven into the cultures of many


    countries, where it has historically been used for
    everything from food and fodder to musical
    instruments and construction material. For
    centuries, millions of people have depended on
    this plant, which is known as “friend of the
    people” in China, and “wood of the poor” in
    India. But the demand for bamboo has been
    increasing in other parts of the world as well,
    especially as it relates to furniture, accent
    pieces, and flooring. More and more, people are
    seeing the value and beauty of using bamboo in their homes to achieve modern-day
    fashion with an ethnic flavor. Entire books have been written on the subject, including
    Black Bamboo and Bamboo Garden.

    There are many different sizes and varieties of bamboo. It is both tropical and
    subtropical, growing in climates as diverse as jungles and mountainsides. Actually giant,
    woody grasses, it is very adaptable, with some species deciduous and others evergreen.
    Although there isn't yet a complete knowledge about this plant, there are believed to be
    between 1100 and 1500 different species of bamboo. The color range is from light green
    leaves and culms (stems) to dark, rich shades of green or some combination thereof.

    Because they are so easy to grow in such a variety of climates, there is a plant available
    for just about anyone who wishes to grow one in the backyard. Some dwarf species
    include chimonobambusa marmorea, indocalamus tessellatus, and pleioblastus chino
    vaginatus. Also suitable for the personal garden are those categorized as mid size.
    Examples of these types of plants are bambusa glaucophylla and otatea acuminata
    aztectorum. Plant starts and seeds are easier to find than ever, being available at nurseries
    and through mail order.

    Choosing bamboo as part of home or garden design makes sense on many levels. Not
    only does it have an appealing look, but it supports the environment as well as the
    countries that produce it.
