Do bamboos bloom? Does bamboo bloom?

Yes, bamboo only blooms once in its life.

Yes! But as soon as it blooms, her life is almost over!

Yes, the bamboo blooms when it is dying.

Yes! You'll see if it's going to be...It should be!

Bamboo flowering is a physiological phenomenon and is also caused by the harsh growth environment.

Bamboo flowering is mostly directly related to the growth environment, such as long-term drought weather, bamboo soil compaction, etc., due to the serious water shortage of bamboo, photosynthesis is weakened, nitrogen metabolism is reduced, resulting in high sugar and nitrogen ratio, creating conditions for the formation of flower buds and flowering.

Ways to prevent bamboo flowering:

1. Select bamboo forests with different origins for afforestation, even if they bloom after forming mixed bamboos, as long as the flowering bamboos are cut down and properly managed, the bamboo forests can be prevented from flowering in patches.

2. Reasonable cutting of bamboo, continuous digging of bamboo roots and older bamboo whips, timely cutting of older bamboo plants, and often keep the individual bamboo plants young.

01 Flowering.

Different types of bamboo bloom in different colors. The main colors of bamboo flowers are mostly yellow, green, and white, and some are equipped with red, pink, etc.

Some people say that bamboo will bloom, and some people say that bamboo will not bloom, so which statement is correct? Can bamboo bloom, and if so, what does a bamboo flower look like? How long does it bloom?

Although bamboo is a common plant, not many people see it blooming. So, does bamboo bloom? Flowering.

Moreover, the flowers of different types of bamboo are also of different colors. The main colors of bamboo flowers are mostly yellow, green, and white, and some are equipped with red, pink, etc. And the bamboo flower is a wind flower.

Wind flowers, i.e., flowers that use wind power as a pollinator. Usually the wind flowers are small, not very fresh, and have no fragrance, but there is a lot of pollen, which is conducive to their propagation and reproduction.

Usually most varieties of bamboo only bloom once in their lifetime, and after flowering, they die, and when the bamboo has lived to the end of its life cycle (to the end of its life cycle), they will bloom and bear fruit en masse, and then the mother parent will die, but the seeds can germinate and grow.

Why do bamboos bloom en masse?

Because before the bamboo reaches its life cycle, they reproduce by dividing the stem (stem: bamboo whip, for the underground stem, bamboo shoots grow from the bamboo whip, not from the bamboo roots), so the 'mountain of bamboo roots and roots', in fact, a bamboo forest, is likely to be composed of the same or a few multiple life forms.

Cycle of bamboo flowers.

Due to the different types of bamboo, the length of the flowering cycle is also different, which is also influenced by genetics. Most bamboos are perennial plants that bloom once, and only a small number of bamboos can bloom multiple times, that is, they can continue to grow after flowering and bloom every year, such as bamboo. Some bamboos take more than ten years or decades to bloom, such as peony bamboo and Banna sweet bamboo, which take about 30 years to bloom; Some species take more than 80 years to flower; Some even take up to 100 years to bloom, such as cinnamon bamboo, which takes 120 years to bloom.

Of course, there are a few exceptions, such as the group of bamboo, the line mark bamboo, the flower once a year or so; The Tang bamboo and filial piety bamboo have no regularity in flowering.

Flowering growth cycle.

It is believed that bamboo flowering has a certain cycle, and the cycle is determined by the internal development rhythm of bamboo. The strongest evidence of the growth cycle theory is the simultaneous flowering of bamboo. Chen Rong studied the historical records of bamboo flowering in China and Japan, and found that the AD age of moso bamboo flowering was a multiple of 60, and Adamson (1978) reported that the flowering cycle of bamboos was about 43a; Taiwanese scholars reported that the flowering cycle of Oysteris was 47a; Zhejiang bamboo 100a flowering 1 time; The Chronicles of Changhua County records that the arrow bamboo once bloomed in the Common Era, with an interval of 60 66 years.

According to Bhupesh Mangla, bamboo seems to have a very synchronized biological clock, which makes the same bamboo, no matter where they are in the world, bloom, bear fruit and die in the same period. It has been reported that in English gardens, bamboos from India and China bloom at the same time as their same bamboo in Asia, and that the bamboos produce seeds and die immediately after flowering.

We often see large bamboo forests, but we rarely see bamboo flowering, in fact, bamboo is the same as other grasses, it also needs to flower and set seeds, but it is a perennial plant that only blooms once in a lifetime. After flowering and fruiting, its nutrients are depleted, and it will wither and die. But the lifespan of bamboo is generally decades or even longer, so we rarely see bamboo flowering.

Bamboo flowering and dying are often continuous, so we don't want to see bamboo flower.

Bamboo flowering is a physiological phenomenon, because bamboo flowering is relatively rare, and after flowering, the green leaves wither, the branches wither, and die in batches, so some people with superstitious thoughts mistakenly think that bamboo flowering is a "bad omen". This phenomenon generally occurs in bamboo orchards where the weather is long-term dry, the soil of bamboo forests is compacted, overgrown with weeds, and the old whip is vertical and horizontal. This is because bamboo is severely short of water, insufficient nutrients, weakened photosynthesis, reduced nitrogen metabolism, and correspondingly higher sugar concentration, resulting in high sugar and nitrogen ratios, creating conditions for the formation of flower buds and flowering.

It can be seen that the flowering of bamboo is caused by the harsh growth environment.
