Bamboo Leaves

Leaf Life Cycle

The new foliage or leaflet (Figure 2 circled in red) emerges similar to a small shoot behind the existing foliage in the Spring. This small spike expands to the length of a leaf and it gently unrolls. during the end of this process, the existing foliage is dropped by the plant. The exchange is gradual and can go unnoticed unless a close inspection is performed.

Figure 2

The leaf experiences natural aging during the yearly leaf cycle. Soil conditions, species, and weather can cause the foliage to present in slightly different shades of color too. Leaves at the end of the cycles become more prone to bacterial, fungal and even plant scale infections. These are natural occurrences and mechanisms in most all environments that are attracted to flora in later stages of life cycles and typically does not transfer to the new foliage.

Figure 3

Figure 3 shows leaves in different stages of the life cycle. The top leaf represents foliage that is ready to be replaced. It has become absent of chlorophyll, slightly desiccated and cracked by the wind, and has a little plant rust. Once again, this is a normal experience at the end of the foliage life cycle. The lower picture is of newly formed foliage unaffected by any of the aforementioned ailments.

Once the old foliage has dropped, it is best to leave it on the groves. The leaves serve multiple beneficial purposes for the bamboo groves. The leaves are high in silica and bamboo thrives on silica. Bamboo leaves are like a natural fertilizer that helps the plant&#;s growth in future years. Leaf decomposition and nutrient release typically occur in one year following the foliage drop. The foliage is also beneficial in suppressing competitive growth. It also presents in a beautiful mat on the forest floor.

The first link below is more all-encompassing, the second is the American Bamboo Society's FAQ page, and has some details in it on curing and preserving bamboo. Looks like it should be over 4 years old or it will contain lots of starches and not be rigid as you hope - although some people raise it solely for the shoots for food purposes.

There's two kinds of cane here in the US, one is switchcane, smaller, which tends to grow in the east and southeast, and rivercane, larger, which grows in river bottoms, etc. and in the midwest and south central areas. My neighbor planted some and you could see it because it grew to about 15 feet tall. They say though it spreads vegetatively through rhizomes, so I'll bet he is having a devil of a time getting rid of it. I have vinca and that's enough for me.

Interesting, thanks for the idea.

Sorry, I was in a hurry earlier. This has been interesting to read, although I don't think bamboo cultivation is something I would do where I am now. An amazing plant (grass), growing sometimes 1-4 feet per day, and some varieties to 70-80 feet!The first link below is more all-encompassing, the second is the American Bamboo Society's FAQ page, and has some details in it on curing and preserving bamboo.
