Abstract

The study was mainly focused on the distribution of tissue proportion and its influence on density in the culms of Bambusa bambos (L.) Voss. For this study the culms or the portions of the culms were collected and analyzed such as outer, mid and inner portions of the culm wall, base, mid and top portions of the culm. The result shows that the anatomical properties as well as physical properties varied in relation to different portions of the culm wall, height levels and age of the culm. In addition to these the anatomical properties such as percentage of tissues proportions may influence the physical properties. Age is one other important factors influence the density. Physical properties changes up to a particular age of the culm and then the change was negligible or stabilized.
