Runu

Runu is a species of bamboo that grows wild throughout eastern Marafire. It is cultivated for its extremely fast growth rate, flexibility, strength, and versatility, as Rafi use runu to make everything from giant platforms to embroidery needles. Giant hooks made from runu are used to swing massive bags of goods over long distances through the treetops.

Runu thrives in nearly all subtropical and temperate zones as long as there is at least moderate precipitation. It does not transplant in semiarid or arid climate, or anywhere that temperatures are sustained below about 50°F/10°C for more than a couple weeks at a time.
