Plant Life Spans and Flowering Frequency

Video not yet published

State

Plants classify by life span as annual, biennial, or perennial, and by flowering frequency as monocarpic, flowering once, or polycarpic, flowering repeatedly.

Show

Bamboo is monocarpic, growing vegetatively for years while accumulating reserves before a flowering event that ends its life.

Watch for

A documented life span, such as a specific bristlecone pine's age, is a recorded observation, not a fixed ceiling for the species.
