Bamboo China and the Great Panda`s are always associated together. There is good reason, but bamboo is so much more, and not just in China, but throughout most of Asia. Because it is a very fast growing grass, every forty minutes it can shoot up another inch. The very straight, very sturdy stems have had many uses in building. Burning Bamboo charcoal not only cleans the air, but has a positive effect on people. Many different animals eat bamboo in addition to the Pandas; elephants and gorillas and humans too. It is used in landscaping for edgings too.
