BAMBOO
Bamboo is just grass, but it varies in height from dwarf, one foot (30cm) plants to giant timber bamboos that can grow to over 100 feet (40m). It grows in a lot of different climates, from jungles to high on mountainsides. Bamboos are further classified by the types of root they have. Some, called runners, spread exuberantly, and others are classified as clumpers, which slowly expand from the original planting. There are also varieties of root systems that are a mixture of these types. Generally, the tropical bamboos tend to be clumpers, and the temperate bamboos tend to be runners.
