Why does the bamboo die after it blossoms? is there any sign?

Bamboo, this is seen by many people, if in the countryside, it is super common, why does this bamboo die after blooming? Is there any sign of bamboo blooming:

Why does the bamboo die after flowering:

This is a question that people have been puzzled for a long time, and scientists hold different views on it. Some scientists believe that when bamboo grows to a certain age, it is bound to age. In order to reproduce, it will blossom and bear fruit before the end of life. They explained as follows: the roots, stems and leaves of plants are called vegetative organs, and their growth is called vegetative growth; the flowers, fruits and seeds of plants are called reproductive organs, and their growth is called reproductive growth.

Due to different types of bamboo, the length of flowering cycle is also different, which is also affected by heredity, but also related to the natural environment. Some bamboos take more than ten or several decades to bloom, such as Phyllostachys pubescens and Banna sweet bamboos take about 30 years to bloom, Phyllostachys pubescens and Phyllostachys pubescens need 32 years to bloom, some species of Phyllostachys take more than 80 years to bloom, and some even take as long as a hundred years to bloom. For example, osmanthus takes 120 years to blossom. Of course, there are a few exceptions, such as Qunrui bamboo and linear bamboo, which blossom about once a year, while Tang bamboo and filial piety bamboo bloom irregularly.

When the pear bamboo blossoms, the filaments are flat, separate from each other or have irregular commissure at the base, the anther is yellow, the tip is emarginate; the ovary is ovoid, glabrous, the upper end becomes thin and forms a very long style, and the latter has 2-4 feathery curving stigmas, which slowly grow into a round pea, which will be similar to pears when they grow up. It is said that after breaking it, there is actually no core inside, there is a thick juice, some foodie eat with this fruit kebabs, saying that the taste is not bad, exactly how it is unknown.

Is there any sign of bamboo blooming:

As some elderly people often say, "when bamboo trees blossom, there will be major disasters" is not just superstition or rumors. Scientists have found that bamboo trees will blossom and wither on a large scale on the eve of some catastrophic droughts. It is said that because bamboo can sense some variations in the soil, it is said that bamboo can spread seeds to move to suitable new land, or wait in the original place for an appropriate time (such as after the drought). In addition, there is also the word "iron tree blossoms".

The cause of death after bamboo blossoms is introduced here. It is said that bamboo flowering is a bad omen.

What does bamboo bloom mean? why does it die after it blossoms?

Bamboo is evergreen all the year round, tall and straight and beautiful, colorful, varied and varied. Planting some bamboo in front and back of the house can not only beautify the environment, but also be very cool in summer. But have you ever seen bamboo blossom? What does bamboo blossom mean? Why does bamboo die after it blossoms?

Does bamboo blossom:

Due to different types of bamboo, the length of flowering cycle is also different, which is also affected by heredity, but also related to the natural environment. Some bamboos take more than ten or several decades to bloom, such as Phyllostachys pubescens and Banna sweet bamboos take about 30 years to bloom, Phyllostachys pubescens and Phyllostachys pubescens need 32 years to bloom, some species of Phyllostachys take more than 80 years to bloom, and some even take as long as a hundred years to bloom. For example, osmanthus takes 120 years to blossom. Of course, there are a few exceptions, such as Qunrui bamboo and linear bamboo, which blossom about once a year, while Tang bamboo and filial piety bamboo bloom irregularly.

What does bamboo blossom mean:

It is precisely because bamboo flowering is relatively rare, and after flowering, the green leaves wither, the branches wither, and die in batches, so some superstitious people mistakenly think that bamboo flowering is an "bad omen". It makes people have a sense of mystery and questions about this natural phenomenon.

In fact, bamboo flowering is a physiological phenomenon, which generally occurs in bamboo gardens with long-term dry weather, soil consolidation, weeds and old whips. This is due to the serious lack of water and nutrition, the weakening of photosynthesis, the decrease of nitrogen metabolism and the corresponding increase of sugar concentration, resulting in high sugar and nitrogen, which creates conditions for flower bud formation and flowering. It can be seen that the flowering of bamboo is caused by the bad growing environment. Therefore, according to the characteristics of bamboo species and taking appropriate management measures, bamboo flowering can be controlled. For example, for bamboo forests, measures such as loosening soil, fertilizing, covering soil, watering, digging bamboo trees and preventing diseases and insect pests can be adopted to create a suitable growth environment for bamboo and avoid flowering in bamboo forests.

The reason why bamboo will die when it blossoms:

Why does the bamboo die after it blossoms? This is a question that people have been puzzled for a long time, and scientists hold different views on it. Some scientists believe that when bamboo grows to a certain age, it is bound to age. In order to reproduce, it will blossom and bear fruit before the end of life. They explained as follows: the roots, stems and leaves of plants are called vegetative organs, and their growth is called vegetative growth; the flowers, fruits and seeds of plants are called reproductive organs, and their growth is called reproductive growth.

The flowering habits of plants can be divided into two categories: one is one-time flowering plants, such as rice, wheat and bamboo, and the other is multiple flowering plants, such as apples, pears and so on. A flowering plant blossoms once in its life, which is characterized by the dominance of vegetative growth in the early stage of growth. When the vegetative growth reaches a certain stage, reproductive growth gradually turns to dominance, and finally blossoms and bears fruit. Because flowering and fruiting consumes a lot of organic nutrients, and these nutrients come from roots, stems and leaves, after flowering and fruiting, most of the nutrients stored in the vegetative organs are consumed, can no longer live, and gradually die. This is true of once-flowering plants wheat and rice, and of course bamboo is no exception.

When bamboo blossoms, the nutrients stored in bamboo whips and poles are consumed, and most species, such as Phyllostachys pubescens and pear bamboos, die above ground and underground after flowering. However, a small number of bamboo species, such as Phyllostachys pubescens, Phyllostachys pubescens and Phyllostachys pubescens, die above ground after flowering, while the buds of the underground parts can still be rejuvenated; there are also individual bamboo species, such as Phyllostachys pubescens, Phyllostachys pubescens, etc., whose leaves remain green after flowering, and the underground parts do not die. However, the flower branches should be cut off as soon as possible to reduce nutrition consumption, so as to ensure the normal growth of bamboo forest.

Bamboo flowering prevention:

Bamboo flowering can occur all the year round, but it also varies with different bamboo species, usually from April to May when the leaves are changed. Before flowering, some abnormal phenomena often occur in bamboo plants or bamboo bushes, such as weakening growth, obvious decrease in shoot yield, little or no bamboo shoots, withered yellow or all shedding bamboo leaves, short and deformed abnormal leaves on branchlets, short and yellow plants, and it is difficult to draw branches and leaves, which are all signs of bamboo flowering. If you find a sign of bamboo blooming, you have to start to do a good job of prevention:

1. Strengthen tending and management, take measures such as loosening soil, fertilizing, covering soil, watering, etc., to improve water and fertilizer conditions, control diseases and insect pests, create a suitable growth environment for bamboo, promote vegetative growth, and make bamboo shoots grow continuously. It is possible to delay the senescence and maturity of bamboo forests or bamboo bushes and inhibit flowering and fruiting.

2. Keep digging up bamboo stalks and older bamboo whips, cut off older bamboo plants in time, and often keep bamboo plants young. When individual bamboo trees bloom in the bamboo forest, dig up the flowering bamboo plants in time, dig out the old whip, and loosen the soil comprehensively, applying 10 kg urea per mu can postpone and inhibit flowering.

What's the point of bamboo blooming? will bamboo die when it blossoms?

Content Abstract: bamboo is an important branch of Gramineae, which is mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical areas. because bamboo has the characteristic of evergreen all the year round, it is often cultivated as a garden ornamental plant. Bamboo is an ornamental variety, which naturally has its unique flowering period, but as we all know, bamboo flowering is rare, and what this article will share with you today is, what is the significance of bamboo flowering, and will bamboo die when it blossoms?

What's the point of bamboo blooming?

Flowering cycle of ▎

Bamboo flowering time is uncertain, and the flowering period is relatively short, so it is easy to be ignored, while the specific flowering cycle of bamboo varies with different bamboo species.

Most bamboo varieties take more than ten years to blossom, and there are also bamboo varieties that have flowered for decades, such as the rare Banna sweet bamboo and tree bamboo, which bloom every 30 years. For example, Phyllostachys pubescens belongs to the species that blossomed for 80 years, and secondly, it also blossoms for a century, such as osmanthus bamboo, which takes about 120 years to blossom.

Symbolic meaning of ▎

After bamboo blossoms, it will have many effects on the growth of bamboo, so in the impression, bamboo flowering is an ominous sign and symbolizes disaster. Therefore, in the folk, there is such a saying, "if bamboo blossoms, there must be a great disaster."

In modern times, some scientists have done research on this, and they have found that whenever there is a drought or famine, there will be a large number of bamboo blossoms in the area, and it is precisely because of this that bamboo blossoms are better stabilized, representing disasters.

Of course, there are legends that bamboo has the ability to sense, and bamboo flowering may be mainly to warn people that there will be disaster, and some people have found that rats will crawl after bamboo blossoms, all of which become a sign of disaster.

[will bamboo die when it blossoms]

Answer: bamboo will die in less than a week after flowering, and large-scale disasters will be caused by flowering bamboo varieties.

Cause of death of ▎

All flowers in the plant kingdom can be divided into once-in-a-lifetime flowering and cyclic flowering varieties, and bamboo belongs to once-in-a-lifetime, which has an advantage over other plants in the growing period, has stronger vitality and survives for a long time, but bamboo accumulates nutrients during the growing period, and when the master grows nutritionally and reaches saturation, it will blossom.

During the flowering period, bamboo consumes a lot of nutrients and directly absorbs nutrients from bamboo roots and leaves, so at the end of the whole flowering period, bamboo will gradually die.

Conclusion: the saying that bamboo flowering represents disaster is not accurate, but the death of bamboo after flowering is an indisputable fact, so it is suggested that the flower branches should be cut down as far as possible when bamboo blossoms, which can effectively avoid bamboo death. doing a good job in preventing bamboo flowering in the early stage can also effectively prolong the survival life of bamboo. I hope the above introduction can be helpful to you.
