Frequently Asked Questions
Do bamboo plants bloom or flower?
Yes, but very rarely. Unlike most flowering plants that bloom annually, many woody bamboo species are monocarpic, meaning they flower only once in their lifetime and then die. They bloom on long, cyclical intervals ranging from 40-120+ years depending on the species, diverting all their energy into seed production before the entire plant perishes.

When and how do you prune bamboo?
Prune in late spring or early summer after the annual flush of new shoots has reached full height and unfolded its leaves. For general maintenance, cut dead, damaged, or weak culms flush with the ground using sharp loppers or a hand saw. To improve air circulation, limb up the plant by trimming off lower branches up to one-third of the total height, or top the stems above a leaf node to control vertical height and encourage bushier side foliage.
