Morphology
The phrase is compositionally built from familiar words: 'giant' (very large) + 'timber' (wood/for wood use) + 'bamboo' (the plant), so a learner who knows each constituent can infer it denotes a very large bamboo species used for timber. The attributive use of 'timber' is slightly technical but follows normal noun‑modifying patterns, making the overall meaning transparent to a B1 learner.
Etymology
The noun giant timber bamboo comes from the words giant, timber, and bamboo: giant means 'very big' and timber means 'wood for building'. It gives the image of tall, thick bamboo stems used like tree trunks for building and furniture, so the name means a very large bamboo used as strong wood.
