poplar? eucalyptus? these grow insanely fast as well in comparison (not as the bamboo though)

Ah yes, my favourite plant, children

depends on environment

One of the fastest growing evergreen trees are Arizona cupressus more than 50 cm per year, also tasmanian eucaliptus around 100 cm per year, I have those trees in my garden, in a pretty dry region in Romania and after 3-4 years those trees which at the transplantation were 50cm tall, now are over 250-300 cm in height.

The fact that bamboo is a grass, puts the whole watching the grass grow into a new perspective.

Children grow as seedlings to plants in 20 years. Due to this they are known as slow growers and require lots of maintence.

I suspect Bamboo only grows this fast from a root mass. If you grow it from seed I strongly doubt it is this fast. Let's compare apples to apples; Oak and Birch when coppiced or pollarded produce a secondary growth that returns very quickly. Measure that and compare that because bamboo is cultivated in a similar manner to coppiced or pollarded plants.

90cm a day? Surely that can't be right...

A friend had a potted bamboo on her covered porch. We left to go shopping and it was about 4" from the ceiling. We got bach and it was bent over from hitting the ceiling.

Bamboo is my kind of plant, I am VERY impatient

saying bamboo grows that quickly isn't really a fair comparison. the important growth is that of the rhizomes underground. sure the culms mature quickly but it's not a fair comparison to the growth of trees. it's also a type of grass, not tree.

"Am watching paint dry. Ha! Too bad am watching baboo grow"

Most Eco-friendly Of Bamboo..

If you get high enough, you can watch any plant grow

I guess it depends on the varieties. Because the bamboos in my neighbour's garden definitely don't grow that fast 😅 ! Probable 10 times slower tant stated here. Which is already pretty fast !

Where is cannabis?

Seaweed!! Kelp is the fastest!! Can grow about three feet in one day!!

Damn, I didn't get to say Kelp is not a plant :{

And pandas still decided to be critically endangered.

Fun fact : Bamboo don't actaully -grow- per se, that fast, they're grown underground, but all folded segments on segments, and when a bamboo shoot pops out of the ground, it's actually already its adult size ! Then the bamboo shoot extends theses segments and it "unfolds" all the way up, like an accordion

Growth of bamboo isn't as it seems . Individual spears grow fast but they ain't individual plants , you have to consider them as like branches of the larger bamboo Grove . They get their energy to grow not from photosynthesis but the sugars and nutrients produced by the grove . A single bamboo stalk growing from seed won't be so impressive . Fastest growing trees I've encountered are wattle and Eucalypt trees . I read somewhere that elephant grass is fastest growing land plant but seaweed is absolute fastest growing plant .

This just reminds me of the myth busters episode where they discovered that you can in fact grow a bamboo shoot through a person to slowly kill them.

You didn't mention Kudzu, which only grows a foot a day but that's pretty fast as well.

I call bs on the bamboo

The only thing is you are comparing bamboo(grass) to trees. Do this video again but only include grasses for a more informative video.

Bamboo grows for 2 to 3 years underground before couming out the ground, it grows his rings and they just extend when ready, so it's not really the fastest growing plant, you need to talk about fastest biomass producer

What about casava?

i love grass. we can't live without it!

We have a rainforest vine in north Queensland, Merremia, that might grow 30-40 cm per day.

I pruned a child once. Since it was a Texan child I just blew its arm off with a shotgun so I wouldn’t get in trouble. My defense was I thought the child was a plant. Case dismissed on the grounds I was taking care of a child and exercising my Second Amendment rights

That's witchcraft!!!

"plants and trees grow at different speeds"... trees ARE plants. I understood what the sentence meant but it would have been better to put it in another way. Nice video, cheers!

Use inches like civilized people and why didn’t you include fast growing trees like mulberry and cottonwood.

If we talk mass instead of height, some of the Euphorbia species can give bamboo a run for its money.

Child is not a plant, dumb BBC

I think this video has one of the most beautiful aesthetics i've seen

Crazy that Kudzu isn’t on the list. That stuff is like the plague

Paulownia can grow 4 m

I hate kids.

I wonder was hemp ever under consideration ?

i can grow 17 cm in 1 sec does bamboo beat me i don t think so hehe

In the hopes of helping reduce co2, could we make Bamboo grow faster?

What about kelp?

Bruh my garlic plants grow 1 foot a week when they were just planted

duckweed is the fastest growing plant

I have heard that in Japan 1 of the ways to punish those who have committed serious unspeakable crimes is to tie them up so that they r forced to sit on a young bamboo shoot, with there asshole being poked by the top of the bamboo. This is done sometimes bcuz bamboo grows so fast that it will drill a hole thru the human body to make room for its growth. It will kill a person in 3 hours or something, all bcuz of such fast anal penetration.

Missing Kelp, which can do 45 CM per Day

Hemp is faster. Hemp can be harvested for fiber in 4 months, bamboo take about 4 years.

0:06 - "Plants and trees grow at different speeds." Trees ARE plants. That statement should read: 'Trees and other plants grow at different speeds.' A little nit-picky, but accuracy matters.
