bambú común

Una de las especies de bambú más ampliamente cultivadas globalmente, el bambú común crece a tasas extraordinarias — hasta 91 cm por día en condiciones óptimas — en regiones tropicales y subtropicales de Asia, África y las Américas. Técnicamente una gramínea gigante en lugar de un árbol, sus culmos pueden alcanzar 20 metros y proporcionan una alternativa maderera de rápida renovación para construcción, papel, textiles y alimento. Es un componente crítico del hábitat para la fauna silvestre, incluyendo los pandas gigantes que dependen de los bosques de bambú.
