not gonna lie, knowing how fast bamboos grow and how healthy they are etc. I think they would be an amazing inclusion to many buildings around, we need some wood and greens in our very grey cities after all- even better if living trees, although the last one is a bit too much and fantastical and that is why I would support that lol (check out green roofs though, they are viable and amazing)
My childhood home got bamboo all of a sudden. It was everywhere in the backyard and such a bitch for my dad to cut down. They’re like underground vines, snaking around as well.
omg!! I have a flat roof and could potentially pull of a green roof! thanks for sharing. I’m gonna learn a little more about how that would affect the structural integrity of the roof and my insurance. I love the idea though.
Please, please do not plant bamboo on your flat roof, dear lord, it would rip it to shreds.
Bamboo is so “sustainable” because it has a frickin out of control growth rate root system and invasiveness. yikes!
Pots only! until you see just how devastating it is first hand!
that would be epic c: Solarpunk stuff is really cool, also check out perovskite new gen solar panels- they are more efficient and cheaper than silicon solars and just came out to market
I appreciate the consideration! I absolutely will not plant any bamboo on my roof. I was more thinking about how to plant it in the yard, and the roof would be more for just grass. However, now that I think about it more, I’m wondering if I the benefits are worth me risking the integrity of my house and carrying a lawnmower up the ladder every time I need to mow 😆
what to heck? bamboo is epic then lol, that is interesting
and it also looks super cool! bamboo is one of my favorite plants. I’ve been thinking about how I can incorporate it into my landscaping at home.

Is it easy to direct its growth though?

Dont do this if you have neighbors
Bamboo spreads at a ridiculous rate
