Abstract
Aim of study: The study was performed to evaluate the growth performance and adaptation potential of different exotic lowland bamboos, as well as identifying and providing the best-performing species. 
 Area of study: The study was conducted in Agbe, Tanqua Melashe district Central Tigray between June 2018 and December 2021. 
 Material and methods: The study focused on six different exotic lowland bamboo species, which are Dendrocalamus hamiltonii, Dendrocalamus asper, Dendrocalamus membranaceos, Bambusa vulgaris, Bambusa bambos, and Guadua amplexifolia. The experiment was designed as a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. An analysis of variance was used to analyze the collected data.
 Main results: The selected bamboo species somehow had problems with survival and adaptability except for Bambusa bambos, Bambusa vulgaris, Dendrocalamus membranaceos, and Dendrocalamus hamiltonii species. Between species’ parameters, such as root collar diameter, culm diameter, culm height, and number of culms, the outcome had a significant difference at (p
