This is an evergreen Bamboo growing to 25 m (82ft) by 5 m (16ft) at a fast rate. This can grow up to 100 feet tall and 5 inches in diameter, and is sometimes referred to as vegetal steel. The culms, or poles, are exceptionally tall, straight and wide, with thick culm walls. This makes them suitable for all manner of construction, including lamination for flooring and cabinetry.
