Various bamboo species bloom in this manner about every 28–60 years. [106]

Because bamboo can grow on otherwise marginal land, bamboo can be profitably cultivated in many degraded lands. [52] [53] Moreover, because of the rapid growth, bamboo is an effective climate change mitigation and carbon sequestration crop, absorbing between 100 and 400 tonnes of carbon per hectare. [54] [55] In 1997, an international intergovernmental organization was established to promote the development of bamboo cultivation, the International Bamboo and Rattan Organisation. [56]

The rhizomes will then have time to put down roots before the plant becomes dormant from autumn to spring.
