The Government of Ethiopia considers bamboo an essential natural resource and aims to promote it for environmental conservation and commercial use. The goal of this study is to distinguish between highland bamboo landraces that could be used for industrial applications, fencing, house construction, furniture production, weaving, livestock feed, and landscape restoration. It also identifies the need for additional genetic characterization in the event that some of the landraces have distinct identities in the scientific taxonomy and describes the growth performance of various landraces based on dendrometric parameters.
