bamboo have decoupled spreading out from reproduction. Unlike all trees, individual bamboo stems, or culms, emerge from the ground at their full diameter and grow to their full height in a single growing season of three to four months. [1] They have little need for flowering except to create genetic diversity. So don't just look at it as solving a problem: it could also be bamboo playing to its strengths. Of Bamboo is probably also solving some unique problems perhaps related to be closely located instead of further spread out. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamboo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamboo
