Schizostachyum aciculare
Schizostachyum aciculare
Family: Poaceae
Cultivation
Bamboos have an interesting method of growth. Each plant produces a number of new stems annually - these stems grow to their maximum height in their first year of growth, subsequent growth in the stem being limited to the production of new side branches and leaves. In the case of some mature tropical species the new stem could be as much as 30 metres tall, with daily increases in height of 30cm or more during their peak growth time.

Schizostachyum grande
Family: Poaceae
Cultivation
The plant is regarded as a weed of overlogged forests in Peninsular Malaysia, where it occurs abundantly, together with Gigantochloa scortechinii and Dendrocalamus pendulus. Efforts used to be directed towards eradication of the plants, but at present, the exploitation of these weedy bamboos as material for local cottage industries is being promoted - more successfully for Gigantochloa scortechinii and Dendrocalamus pendulus than for Schizostachyum grande. More research is needed on how to reclaim land in certain areas occupied by Schizostachyum grande.
