Bamboo is a giant grass, but it is still a humble herbaceous plant from the grass family (poaceae) with very unique characteristics: some species grow between 70 centimeters and one meter in a single day, it is capable of setting between three and four times more CO₂ than other plants, it blooms once every 100 or 150 years on average to die afterwards, its roots do not go deeper than 100 centimeters, although the height of its stems can exceed 25 meters in just three years, when It reaches maturity, and with no more than three square meters it can provide shade on an area up to 60 times larger. Manuel Trillo and Antonio Vega-Rioja, two biologists trained at the University of Seville, have created the first certified nursery of bamboo non-invasive in Europe, a botanical laboratory to investigate and apply all the benefits of this herb, on which prejudices more deeply rooted than the rhizomes of the plant weigh.
