About Bamboo
Bamboo is just grass, but it varies in
height from dwarf, one foot (30 cm) plants to giant timber bamboos
that can grow to over 100 feet (30 m). It grows in many different
climates, from jungles to high on mountainsides. Bamboos are
further classified by the types of roots 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. Reference:

Thomas Edison used bamboo filaments in
his first light bulbs, and one of those bulbs is still burning
today at the Smithsonian in Washington, D.C. Reference: Bamboo
