Photo of flowers and fruits of Phyllostachys pubescens the toxicity of Phyllostachys pubescens is that the juice has stimulation and corrosion effects, and skin contact causes pain and burns. The immature pulp is calcium oxalate needle crystal, which burns the tongue when eaten. It can be seen that bamboo is a poisonous plant, and its toxicity is much less than that of Guanyin, which belongs to the same genus.
The toxicity of the bamboo is mainly through deep contact and eating. As long as the juice is not eaten or rubbed into the eyes or wounds, the toxicity of the bamboo will not do harm to people. Appreciation of turtle back bamboo pictures
