Bamboo is a grass plant that belongs to the family Poaceae. It grows fast and has multiple uses. It is not treated as a tree, but rather a member of the true grass family as you can notice how much this is very different from other grasses we are used to seeing. According to the data obtained in the year 2000, Tanzania has approximately 127,824 ha of bamboo. For more information, visit this link http://www.sua.ac.tz/news/potential-bamboo-tanzania
