Types of Bamboo 5, what are the types of bamboo

Moso bamboo is also known as "Nanzhu" and "Mengzong bamboo". The subfamily of Poaceae bamboo, the genus Bamboo, uniaxial scattered type. Evergreen tree-like bamboo plants with large stalks, up to 20 meters tall and up to 18 centimeters thick.

The stalks are thick leathery, densely covered with rough hairs and dark brown spots and patches, the ears and hairs are well developed, the tongue is well developed, the seeds are triangular, lanceolate, and valgus. Tall, the stalk ring is not raised, the leaves are lanceolate, and the bamboo shoots are hairy. It prefers warm and humid climates, grows well on deep, fertile, well-drained acidic soils, and avoids poorly drained low-lying lands.

The existing area of 10,000 acres, the accumulation of more than 46 million, widely distributed in the hills of 400 800 meters, low mountains and foothills, with Changning, Jiang'an, Xingwen and other counties are the most concentrated, the famous Shunan bamboo Hainan bamboo area of more than 60,000 acres. The annual output of the whole area is more than 1.5 million bamboos. The material is tough and flexible, and is widely used in construction, agriculture, furniture making and daily necessities.

Whips, roots, stems, branches, seeds, etc. have extremely high processing value, bamboo shoots are delicious, and the "magnolia slices" produced are excellent gifts. In the spring sunrise bamboo shoot period, spring bamboo shoots are harvested, and the fresh bamboo shoots are tender, crisp and delicious. Bamboo shoots are cooked and processed to make many delicious dishes.

Bamboo stalks are important timber plants.

Growth dynamics: There is a peculiar plant in Sichuan--- moso bamboo. Its growth process is one of nature's wonders.

The bamboo did not grow long for the first five years of planting, but when the rainy season arrived in the sixth year, it surged upwards at a rate of 6 feet a day for about 15 days, and finally grew to about 90 feet tall, becoming the height champion in the bamboo forest. What's even more peculiar is that during the days when it grows, other plants within a radius of more than 10 meters around it stop growing, and when its growth period is over, these plants gain the right to grow again. In the process of "finding the roots" of the do-gooders, the mystery of this spectacle is revealed.

It turns out that it did not grow in the first five years, or even did not grow less, but it grew in a way that was not easy for people to notice--- and took root underground. After five years of underground work, the root system of a young bamboo that has not yet germinated upwards has developed more than 10 meters to the surrounding area and nearly 5 meters deep into the ground, which can really be described as "broad and profound". This way of growing not only lays a solid foundation for it to grow taller after 5 years, but also quietly "encroaches" on the root development space of other plants around it, so that they cannot obtain the necessary water and nutrients for growth, so when the rainy season arrives in the sixth year, it can almost monopolize resources and grow on its own, while other plants around it can only look at the sky and sigh and watch it grow.

Classification by growth type:

Clumping Bamboo The new bamboo grows from the side buds of the rhizomes of the old bamboo, so it looks like they will all clump together, one by one. Hemp bamboo, green bamboo, spiny bamboo, long-branched bamboo, Penglai bamboo, etc.

Loose bamboos Their long underground stems creep on the ground! New bamboos then emerge from these underground stems, so the new bamboos will grow near the old bamboos, and they will appear to grow independently. Mengzong bamboo, cinnamon bamboo, human face bamboo, ink bamboo, Tang bamboo, square bamboo, Japanese red bamboo, etc.

Mixed bamboo. There are tea pole bamboo, bitter pole bamboo.

There are many kinds of bamboo, among which phoenix bamboo, filial piety bamboo, and nan bamboo are the most common. Among them, Nanzhu has strong adaptability, wide distribution, strong branch flexibility, and is mostly used as bamboo weaving handicraft materials. The peculiar shape of the Buddha's belly bamboo has a very high ornamental value, and it is mostly cultivated with rockery for bonsai.

Anchovy bamboo is a clump of bamboo, native to southern China. It is a hybrid of filial piety bamboo. Because it is clumped and the plant type is not high, it resembles a phoenix tail, so it is called phoenix tail bamboo.

It prefers a moist and cool environment, and uses loose and breathable soil when planting. The branches are thinner, and the leaves are small and spread throughout the branch. It is often used in landscape cultivation and landscaping.

Spotted bamboo is a scattered bamboo with tall and straight branches and long leaves, named for the characteristic brown spots on the surface of the bamboo. It is mainly distributed in the Xiangshui basin of Hunan. It likes a semi-cool, warm, humid environment, is more waterproof, and has strong flexibility, and is mainly used for building materials or woven products.

Filial piety bamboo belongs to the shrub type of clumping bamboo, the branches are dark green, grow to a certain time yellow and bend to the ground, the branches grow in tight clusters. The leaf is green on the surface, white on the back, and lanceolate. It is mainly produced in Guangdong, Guangxi and other provinces and regions.

Because it can grow in harsh environments, it is the most widely distributed bamboo among the types of bamboo. The branches are blue-green, and the leaves are thin and short, evenly distributed. It is mostly used to make woven products, and it is also used to make clothes poles in rural areas.

It is a small shrub group that prefers a warm and moist growing environment, and it is advisable to use loose and breathable acidic soil for planting. The branches are green cylindrical, and the overall plant is general, mostly groundcover plants for landscaping.

Ink bamboo is also a scattered bamboo, which is a relatively precious and rare bamboo species. Because the main stem and side branches of the bamboo are black, it is called black bamboo, and the leaves are narrow and emerald green, and the growth is even. It is the best material for making wind instruments, so it is very precious.

Nanzhu is also a scattered bamboo, with tall and straight branches and very high hardness, and it is often called moso bamboo. The branches are grayish-green, and the branches are sparsely distributed. The branches are mostly used for building materials, and the bamboo roots are mostly used for handicraft carving, mainly in Sichuan, Guizhou, Hunan and other places.

Cizhu is a representative of bamboo, with tall and straight branches and thick green leaves, and it is a clumping type of bamboo. Its branches are very flexible, the bamboo tube is long and the knots are very sparse, and it can be cultivated well into large timber, which is generally used to make bamboo handicrafts, because of its strong adaptability, it is planted in most areas.

If you look at the name, you can tell that it should be planted near the water's edge or in a moist place, and it is also a bush that grows in clusters and has a unique aroma. It can be used as a stone material or as a woven material, and the effect is extremely high. It is mostly used for waterscape landscaping.

Because each section of the branch is convex, like a Buddha's belly, it is called a Buddha's belly bamboo. The branches are dark green and turn yellow after a certain period of time. Because the plant is short, it is generally used for bonsai cultivation, and the ornamental value is extremely high. It can also be used in the courtyard to match with rockery and other landscapes.

The cultivation of bamboo is empty

There are about 1,200 species of bamboo in the world, and they can be divided into three types: scattered, subbiotic, and mixed, depending on the type of reproduction.

Introduction to bamboo species

Loose bamboos are propagated by using the buds of underground stems, and their shoots are usually unearthed between March and May, where they slowly grow taller, and new branches and leaves are constantly drawn out in May and June. In August and September, it grows rapidly, and varieties such as moso bamboo and water bamboo are scattered bamboo.

The bamboos from the raw form mainly use the young shoots born at the bottom of the adult plant to reproduce, and usually produce bamboo shoots from June to September every year, mainly including Ci bamboo, phoenix bamboo and other varieties.

Hybrid bamboos can be propagated either from buds from the stems under the ground dregs or from buds grown at the bottom of the adult plant. Their shoots are usually unearthed between May and June each year and grow rapidly, reaching new plants after about 1 to 2 months. It mainly includes varieties such as palm bamboo, bitter pole bamboo, etc.

In my impression, the bamboos we see are all verdant and straight, but how many types of bamboo are there? Let's find out.

Types of bamboo

There are about 1,200 species of bamboo in the world, and they can be divided into three types: scattered, clumped, and mixed, depending on the type of reproduction.

Introduction to bamboo species

Loose bamboos are propagated by using the buds of underground stems, and their shoots usually emerge between March and May, slowly growing taller, and in May and June, new branches and leaves will continue to emerge, and they will grow rapidly in August and September. Varieties such as moso bamboo and water bamboo are scattered bamboos.

The clumping type of bamboo mainly uses the young shoots grown at the bottom of the adult plant to reproduce, and usually produces bamboo shoots from June to September every year, mainly including Ci bamboo, Phoenix bamboo and other varieties.

The hybrid type of bamboo macrophyllum can be propagated by using the buds of underground stems, and can also be propagated by the buds born at the bottom of the adult plant. Their shoots are usually unearthed between May and June each year and grow rapidly, reaching new plants in about 1 to 2 months. It mainly includes varieties such as palm bamboo, bitter pole bamboo, etc.

It can be seen that bamboo can be divided into three types according to different propagation methods: scattered bamboo, subordinate and mixed, the scattered bamboo is propagated by underground stem buds, the subordinate type is propagated by the buds at the bottom of the adult plant, and the mixed type of bamboo can be propagated with underground stem buds and buds at the bottom of the adult plant.

1. Ci bamboo, a grassy plant, the stem is cylindrical. 2. Moso bamboo.

Evergreen plant with fine pubescence and powdery powder on young stems. 3. Palm bamboo.

It is also called Guanyin bamboo.

It belongs to the clumping shrubs. 4. Ma bamboo, which can grow to a height of 25 meters, has more branches. 5. Water bamboo, with high ornamental value, can be used as industrial raw materials.

1. Cizhu

Bamboo is a grassaceous plant, the height of the plant is about 10 meters, the top is slender, the stalk is cylindrical, there are gray-white prickly hairs on the surface, the feel is rough, and the bamboo shoot period of the bamboo shoots is in June to September every year, and the flowering period is in July to September, mainly growing in Sichuan, Hunan, Hubei, Gansu and other places in China.

2. Moso bamboo.
