Abstract: Bambusa emeiensis of 1 to 6yearold was as the raw material and phenol formaldehyde resin(PF) was as the adhesive to prepare bamboo scrimber. The influences of bamboos age on physical mechanical, natural decay resistance and mould inhibitor properties of bamboo scrimber were investigated. The results showed that the basic density increased with the increment age; mechanical properties strengthened with the increasing age, but it didnt change much; natural decay resistance of Bambusa emeiensis bamboo scrimber reached to the high antidecay level, while bamboo age had not significant influences on the natural decay resistance; all the 1 to 6yearsold bamboo scrimber test materials entire surface were inspected for mold growth after 4 weeks. This phenomenon showed that untreated bamboo scrimber was more prone to mildew and bamboo age had not significant influences on the natural moldresistant performance of bamboo scrimber. Based on comprehensive consideration of the physica mechanical and nature durability properties, in bamboo forest cultivation, Bambusa emeiensis as a kind of structural material appropriate cutting age should be 3 to 4yearold. 
