Black Bamboo Flowering Crisis - 6 Month Rescue Mission Results

My Phyllostachys nigra (Black Bamboo) started flowering in spring 2024 - an un-aliving sentence that shouldn't happen for another 40 years. I spent 6 months systematically cutting every flowering culm to try to save it. It's been 2 months since the last flower appeared. Here's what happened. 🎋 TIMELINE: March-May 2024: First flowering culms discovered June-August 2024: Peak flowering period September-November 2024: Flowering slows December 2024: 2 months with no flowers 🌱 THE STRATEGY: Cut flowering culms immediately upon discovery Monitor for new flowering weekly Document plant health changes Dig up rhizome as insurance policy ⚠️ ABOUT BAMBOO GREGARIOUS FLOWERING: Phyllostachys nigra is in a 120-year worldwide flowering cycle (last flowered 1908). When bamboo flowers, the entire clonal population typically dies. Cutting culms is theoretically supposed to exhaust flowering energy, but science says it shouldn't stop the genetic trigger. 📹 CHAPTERS: 0:00 - The Crisis Begins 0:34 - What is Gregarious Flowering? 1:06 - Spring: First Flowering Culms 2:05 - Summer: Flowering Period Slows 3:01 - Autumn: Flowering Seems to Stop 3:19 - Current State: 2 Months No Flowers 4:44 - Emergency Rhizome Rescue 6:21 - Did It Work?
