Nowadays, no one here picks these seeds for they have forgotten that they used to be cooked during times when famine struck. Most of the bamboo trees that were flowering last summer (Apr 08) were found dead. The stems had turned black. There is a myth that when bamboo flowers, it signals the onset of famine. May be in the current context, it could be 'Recession`! http://groups.google.co.in/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/517cbe18f6e4adb/ab35f6a14b193e84?lnk=gst&q=bamboo+tree+flowering#ab35f6a14b193e84 (There are several species of Bamboo and this behaviour may not be generalized. ) From: Mahadeswara Swamy <[email protected]> To: treepix Indian <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, 12 April, 2008 5:00:24 PM Subject: [Indiantreepix] Re: Bamboo tree flowering In Chennai, one can see flowering bamboos in Guindy National Park. I have photographed the flowering bamboo about 2 weeks back.

Some of the trees are more than 70 years old. Again. the trees which were chopped 6 months months before were still bearing flowers. The stories on the famine when bamboo flowers, rat menace still prevails in the localites mindset.The fallen seeds seemed to be collected and cooked for food, long time back We had seen earlier in feb 08, a bamboo tree flowering in one of the forest dept. nurseries in Yelahanka, Bangalore.
