Details

Bamboo is not a tree but a fast growing grass. The species used for flooring is sustainably harvested from selected groves in southern China and is not eaten by pandas. It takes only three to five years to grow bamboo, therefore an acre of bamboo can provide more flooring than an acre of trees. Cutting bamboo shoots does not destroy the roots and fresh new sprouts grow in their place. Bamboo has a dense root mass which helps prevent soil erosion and provides a viable crop opportunity for hills where other crops cannot grow.
