Also called Gua duo zhu zhong zi bamboo in China . Giant neotropical bamboo .
In Colombia, you can can find enormous groves of Guadua bamboo which is used to build some astonishing natural structures. 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. The strength of this bamboo has led some some to describe it as “vegetal steel.” As such, it offers an incredible alternative to traditional lumber and steel, far less expensive and far more sustainable.
