Tall woody tropical grass (6)

I believe the answer is:

bamboo

(Other definitions for bamboo that I've seen before include "Tropical grass/wood" , "Woody tropical grass with a hollow stem" , "Tropical cane with hollow centres, used for furniture" , "Spotted tile; carnival mask" , "stick" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
