Abstract

Bamboos are generally tall, erect and woody arborescent grasses. They are mainly distributed in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Bamboo grows three times faster than most other plants species. Bambusa tulda belongs to Poaceae family and the subfamily Bambusoideae. Bambusa tulda also known as Indian timber bamboo is an evergreen in nature. Its shoots contain high nutritional contentsand polyphenols which show medicinal properties to cure cardiovascular diseases and some types of cancer High demand for edible bamboo shoots of Bambusa tulda in many Asian ethnic groups has led to the need for developing intensive bamboofarming. The present studies based on survey done at New Forest, Forest Research Institute (FRI), Dehradun (Uttarakhand) India, the minimum leaf size (L×B) of Bambusa tulda is 19 x 2and maximum leaf size 21 x 2.Clum height of B. tuldais (LxB)~ 15-20 and height of clum sheath(LxB) is 30 x 30.
