For breeding, you should plant 8 units of bamboo which is divided into two units per plant around the pandas. Bamboos can not be planted in more than 5 blocks because if someone plants more than 5 blocks, the breeding of pandas will not happen. Each panda will reproduce and have a baby only when each of them are given bamboo.
Other uses: Bamboos are able to break up sand. So they are used to breaking the sand the same way the sword breaks the bamboo.
