😂 Watched this without the glasses on and, for a second, thought real bamboo was growing up from the bottom of the screen. Fascinating post

I bought a bamboo maybe 10 years ago and it flowered and died the next year. It was a rollercoaster - "Wow, I didn't know bamboo flowered, I must be a great gardener... oh look it's dead"

Did the bamboo account for the time difference too?

I was in uni at the time (agricultural studies) and you can imagine the panic/hype when it happend 😂 The Y2K of the garden world and this did happen

maybe a telomere thing? the clones would (more or less) keep telomere damage from the parent, and then they'd continue to degrade at roughly the same rate. so at some point, the protein expression for "flower" would trigger roughly at the same time across all clones & the parent. that's just a best guess tho

Must have been very confusing for the people who owned it. They must have been completely bamboozled.

This happened in Denmark in the 1990s. Apparently a lot of bamboo in gardens were from the same plant.

omg I so love your content!!! massive death cult. genetic timing of death. wonder if we all have one, cause Dolly died early for HER age

there are some bamboo that flower every 2, 3 and 5 years, or factors of these small prime numbers 👀

But how did they manage to track all of clones if they’d been distributed far & wide internationally, to confirm this? 🤔

do the seeds from a single plant have diverse genetic material so they each have their own clock timers. I wonder how much bamboo seeds cost.

Synchronous flower (but you can think of it like a botanical death pact) 🤣🤣🤣

From judging it as a drama Queen I will uno-reverse that statement and claim it "the most synchronous plant". A way better title. 😊

Black bamboo is going through a flowing event right now, think it started around 2022 and is still going so takes a few years

dont trees do this too? to stop squirrels eating all the nuts they all coordinate and drop INSANE numbers of nuts one year so that squirrels cant possibly eat all of them.

tobiasglasby :
wow, brilliant post. I've heard the similar fact about some trees that do similar, and on a much shorter time scale.. But a 120 year cycle, and on the cuttings/clones, is an amazing step beyond. incredible.

That's the same with other clones too. Dolly, the first cloned sheep died around the same time as her original did 🐑

So, the seedlings it releases at this point l, are they reset? They must be, right?
