Bambu träd
stammarna som hos vissa arter kan bli ända upp till 40 meter höga och ha en diameter på mer än 20 cm.
bambu används också som födoämne framför allt i asien. skotten skördas unga innan det blivit hårda. Det äts syltade eller kokta och är tämligen rika på kolhydrater.
Bambuarterna har fått en synnerligen mångskiftande användning. De fungerar t.o.m som byggnadsställningar för t.ex målare i Thailand.
