Abstract :
The anatomical and chemical properties of Fargesia yunnanensis at three ages from different sites were investigated. The radial length/tangential diameter ratio of vascular bundle, tangential diameter of metaxylem vessel, holocellulose and fibre characteristics varied with age and portion. There were significant differences between the three sites. The harvesting time, portion and site need to be considered carefully in bamboo processing to enhance utilisation.
