The Bengal bamboo grows in the Southeast Asian Rainforest as an undergrowth; this means that when young it may not get a lot of sunlight or water. It grows fast and has short roots in order to get at the sunlight faster in life and absorb water when it first falls. The Bengal bamboo needs lot so water in order to survive meaning it needs multiple vascular bundles that are smaller in size order to absorb excess water. The smaller vascular bundles increase the air pressure in the vascular cavities so that more water can be drawn up to higher points, this means it can fit many of them around its stem. The plant grows over many years so it is considered a dicot plant and grows to about 40-80 feet tall; this means its vascular bundles are arranged in a circular pattern near the outside of the bamboo and it has more sclerenchyma cells which have very thick cell walls and help provide strength and support. When it is full grown it is approximately 3 inches in diameter and the leaves will fall off. The Bengal bamboo is a grass, not a shrub or tree and flowers once in its lifetime. After it has flowered it dies.
