Bamboo skewers
Starting at: UAH11.60
Bamboo, which is made of bamboo skewers, is the fastest growing plant on Earth. Typical bamboo grows as much as 10 centimeters in a single day. Some varieties grow at speeds of up to a meter a day, or about 1 millimeter every 2 minutes. You can actually see the plant growing right in your eyes.
Bamboo flowering is an intriguing phenomenon because it is a unique and very rare phenomenon in the kingdom of plants. Most bamboo stems bloom once in 60 - 130 years. Long flowering intervals remain a mystery to most botanists.
These slow-flowering varieties demonstrate another behavioral interest - derived from a single sprout of stems blooming simultaneously around the world, regardless of geographical location and climate. Much of bamboo is a "subdivision" of a single parent shoot. These units have been re-shared over time and distributed worldwide. Although they are now geographically located in different cities, they still have the same organization of genetic material. Thus, when bamboo blooms in North America, the same stem in Asia blossoms at about the same time. The plants appear to have an internal clock, where the alarm clock works at the same time.
According to one hypothesis, mass flowering increases the chances of survival of the bamboo population. As soon as the bamboo plant reached its maximum life expectancy, the seeds bloomed and released - the plant dies, and entire forests are erased from the face of the Earth. One theory is that the production of seeds requires a huge amount of energy, the release of which depletes bamboo to such an extent that it actually dies. Another theory is that maternal bamboo is dying to make room for bamboo seedlings.
