Bamboo Facts

Bamboo is regarded as a unique family in the plant kingdom because of its hollow, knotty, non-grass and non-wood characteristics.

There are about 1,000 kinds of bamboos in the world. A few of these are herbaceous plants, but most bamboos are woody plants. However, bamboo is not a real tree. Because bamboo lacks a "cambium", bamboo poles cannot grow thick like the trunks of other trees.

In addition, woody plants have relatively well-developed xylem, with their heads upright in appearance, such as the banyan tree, the Taiwan luan tree and most of the bamboo plants.
