In the link below, you can read the news about the amazing growth rate of
this bamboo that was discovered recently in China.  In 1 year, it grew to 46
meters with a 36 cm diameter at the base (thats about 150 feet tall, 14 inch
diameter).  Imagine the size of that bamboo shoot in the spring.  Anyone
need a bamboo pole to support an apple tree, and then some?
