Common bamboo

One of the most widely cultivated bamboo species globally, common bamboo grows at extraordinary rates — up to 91 cm per day under optimal conditions — across tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Technically a giant grass rather than a tree, its culms can reach 20 meters and provide a fast-renewable timber alternative for construction, paper, textiles, and food. It is a critical habitat component for wildlife including giant pandas that depend on bamboo forests.
