Bamboo trees flowering a cause for concern
As all bamboo trees in forests of Koppa taluk have bloomed fully at a time, there is apprehensions that the crop may be perished completely.
The flowering of bamboo leads to mass change in the environment and also leads to famine. Flowering of bamboo happens only once in 60 years. It is a fact that bamboo tree stand as the protector of other plants in the forest. The life of bamboo trees will come to an end once it starts flowering. The trees will be dried and later it will be destroyed completely after the flowering.
