About the Bamboo Plant Bamboo is the fastest growing timber plant on earth and requires no fertilizers to grow.Bamboo regenerates (cut one stalk and two will grow in its place) with a short harvesting cycle. Bamboo can grow 47 inches in 24 hours and 78½ feet high in 40 to 50 days.It absorbs 2/3 more carbon dioxide and releases 2/3 more oxygen than any other plant on earth.The Bamboo plant is naturally anti-bacterial, a trait which it retains through the processing cycle and is a characteristic of the finished product. Bamboo is seldom eaten by pests or infected by pathogens so it thrives naturally without using pesticides.
