About

A giant woody grass whose hollow culms can shoot up several feet in a single day under ideal conditions. Despite its impressive height it almost never sets seed, instead spreading clonally from underground rhizomes.

Life cycle

    seed
    A dormant seed waits for water and warmth before germinating.
  2. 2.
    sprout
    A first shoot emerges with cotyledon leaves and a tap root reaching down.
  3. 3.
    sapling
    A young plant grows true leaves and a stem or trunk, putting on height each season.
  4. 4.
    mature
    Fully grown, flowering or fruiting at adult size.
