  • The title is wrong, it should be trees, not plants.

    The fastest growing plant is bamboo and can grow up to 1 meter per day.

  • too bad jeremy clarkson wasn't there he would say "It's the fastest growing tree ..... in the world"

  • @Infloresence I suppose you're right, Bermuda grass may be the fastest growing plant over time while bamboo is the fastest growing plant over short periods.

  • @MrThezho I don't want to be really picky but bamboos remain static for 11 months of the year and can put out shoots which can grow as fast 1mt per day and grow to 4mt tall or more, Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon) on the other hand can grow 5-6 in. per day but for 4 months of the year. It's tortoise and hare situation.

  • @mikeyt12321 They aren't on earth

  • @darebinroad bamboo, you cant make anything useful ot of kelpaside from a few pill exracts and some posh side dish :P

  • @drdisarper Spread the AS love my friend, we're blessed

  • @MrThezho Absolutely right, although I believe that kelp can give bamboo a bit of a run for its money when it gets going. Maybe someone could stage a race. Bamboo v Kelp.

  • Ok, first of all, this has nothing to do with the video. It's even less pertinent than a discussion about homosexuality would be (no, I'm not homophobic).

    Secondly, I have Asperger's Syndrome, which is high-functioning Autism. I have above-average intelligence and a hard time getting along with people. These are traits several of you mentioned.

    However, you have to understand that Austism is on a spectrum and fairly inconsistenet not related to this video. At all.

  • @groznybaranek That's Aspergers or Higher functioning Autism and it's actually average to above average. Pure autism usually involves intellectual disabilities too.

  • love phil jupitus
