There are a lot of different types of bamboo, a lot of them have some kind
of gradient structure (resulting in 'rings' across the length)

You could use a gradient pattern for simulating this but remember the
geometry changes similar to the texture, so you should consider putting
the plant together from different individually textured elements.
