Bamboo is the fastest-growing plant on Earth.
It has been clocked surging skyward as fast as 1 metre per day.
This accelerated growth rate is due to a unique rhizome system and is dependent on local soil and climate conditions.

Althought some bamboos flower every year, most species flower infrequently. In fact, many bamboos only flower at intervals as long as more than 100 years.
