Melocanna baccifera or "Berry Bamboo" is a tropical bamboo native to Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Myanmar and Nepal. Melocanna baccifera is an invasive species that can occupy large areas due to its long and vigorous rhizomes and, during flowering, for its easily germinating fruits. The fruits are the size and shape of a pear and are edible. Melocanna baccifera is one of the most useful bamboos within its native range, especially in Bangladesh where the stems have a wide range of uses.
