    What type of Wood can you cut in half and it would keep on growing? Bamboo is an ancient plant widely recognized for its symbolism of a strong, healthy life. It is an eco-friendly building material, sustainable resource, (meaning it is self reliant), and benefits from cutting (giving it the ability to regenerate itself). Bamboo just keeps on giving of itself.
