Many bamboo species are incredibly rare because they only flower once in their entire lifetime and some types of bamboo blossom just every 40 to 50 years!
In China, they grow a bamboo tree, commonly known as the Chinese bamboo tree. When they sow the seed in ground and water
it, nothing happens till the end of the first year. They continue watering it and nurturing it but nothing happens till
the end of second year. It fails to sprout even after the end of the third year but the person growing it must continue
to irrigate, fertilize and care for it. You will be surprised to know that nothing happens till the end of the fourth
year as well.
