Uses: A multipurpose bamboo for the local communities of Arunachal Pradesh. They are primarily used to make houses but the young shoots are also eaten with choice.

Giant Bamboo Trees at Peradeniya, Sri Lanka:
Taken on the 17th of October, 2010 at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Peradeniya, Sri Lanka. The size can be judged by a couple sitting under it. They were really huge.Had to take the picture from a distance to cover the entire trees in the camera frame.


Is this Cathariostachys madagascariensis?


Bambusa oldhamii can also be a choice !


I think Dendrocalamus giganteus Wall ex Munro.

Yes Dendrocalamus giganteus


Have seen this bamboo many times in Arunachal Pradesh. It is widely utilized in upper reaches of Siang districts. For making huts, water channels and to make pickles from the young shoots.
