Bamboo
Technically a grass, bamboo has a hollow plant stem and crosswise membranes that form its distinct 'nodes'. It is the fastest-growing, most replenishable plant on Earth. Bamboo's long life makes it a Chinese symbol of longevity; in India, it is a symbol of friendship; in Vietnam, it represents values embedded in their culture; straightforwardness, meticulousness, and optimism.
