Like combining bamboo growth speeds with anything that absorbs mass amounts of carbon?

Could you imagine a redwood that can grow to the size they are in just a few years?!?

It would be incredible! Though I’m not sure they’d have the density as I think quick growing speeds normally result in a less dense wood. Im not an expert or even novice of any kind with tree husbandry though so just take it as the musings of a random person.

Just give them protein shakes.

Just be careful not to make a new Kudzu vine!

I thought bamboo already absorbs massive amounts of carbon

You think it's pulling all that plant mass out of thin air?

oh... wait...
