About Bamboo

Bamboo is a common sight in the modern world. Whether you receive a lucky bamboo plant as a gift from a friend or you install stylish bamboo flooring in your home, this fascinating plant is far more than just a tasty panda snack. But what exactly is bamboo?

Rather than being a single type of plant, bamboo actually refers to a whole group of evergreen plants that are a part of the true grass family. There are around one thousand different species of bamboo found around the world, in every type of climate from the sunny tropics to the frigid mountains. Bamboo is actually the fastest growing woody plant on the planet. This makes it an ideal renewable resource for a wide variety of uses, including bamboo hardwood flooring which is currently growing in popularity.
