Bamboos have a strong reproductive capacity which can be seen in how fast they can regrow after being cut down. Within 2 to 3 months of being cut, a bamboo shoot can grow into a full-grown tree and quickly cover the land with many trees. This is the reason why some say that when you cut a bamboo tree, you are planting a bamboo tree in its place.
Bamboos usually have a life cycle around 40 to 80 years, varying among species. Normally, new bamboos grow up from bamboo shoots at the roots. At infrequent intervals for most species, they will start to blossom. After blossom, flowers produce fruit (called "bamboo rice" in parts of India and China). Following this, the bamboo forest dies out.
