Abstract

Effects of age and height on the fibre morphology density modulus of rupture (MOR) and modulus of elasticity (MOE) of Gigantochloa levis (buluh beting) were studied on 2- and 4-year-old bamboo. There was no significant difference in bamboo properties in relation to age except that the 4-year-old bamboo had thicker fibre wall. However culm height affected fibre length and density at both ages. Fibre diameter fibre wall thickness MOR and MOE differed significantly with height in 2-year-old bamboo.
