Bamboo flowering means bamboo dying.

Bamboo flowering depletes the nutrients stored in the whips and stalks, and most species, such as moso bamboo and pear bamboo, have all above-ground and below-ground parts die after flowering. After flowering, bamboo leaves turn withered and yellow, partially or completely fall off, culms fade and turn yellow, and bamboo whips turn black or even rot.

Most of the bamboos bloom, all the leaves fall off, that year or a few years after each other will bloom to death, while some can still grow out of the deformation of the small bamboo or draw out the small bamboo whip to continue to grow for the second or even the third time to bloom, and do not die immediately. In the case of flowering bamboos and other bamboo species, they can bloom year after year without dying.

Preventive Measures

Strengthening the management, promoting bamboo Nutritional growth, weeding the bamboo garden, timely control of pests and diseases, before and after the rainy season or winter with reclamation and land preparation, combined with land preparation, digging out the flowering bamboo, old whips and stumpy root and stem, leaving strong whips and sprouting small bamboo;

pave the river mud or pond silt, improve the water and fertilizer conditions of the bamboo garden, so as to maintain vigorous nutrient growth, and continue to produce new tissues and organs, whip shoots, and always keep the juvenile and strong stage, so as to inhibit reproductive growth, and achieve delayed flowering, and to achieve a delayed flowering. This will inhibit reproductive growth and achieve the purpose of delaying flowering.

In order to renew the whole forest, it is necessary to rotate the band reclamation for five to six consecutive years.
