  Bamboo Growth and Development   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
The life span of leaves of monopodial bamboo is no more than 2 years (2465; 2761) whereas that of leaves of sympodial bamboo can extend to about 6 years (1733; 2747).
In monopodial bamboo, leaf age on culms of a specific age is very similar, whereas in sympodial bamboo it varies greatly.
In bamboos in tropical climates, the drop in photosynthesis rate during January and February is not as pronounced as for bamboos in temperate/cold climates or it is nonexistent.

 Bamboo Soil Management   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Bamboos are categorized into monopodial (running) and sympodial (clumping and generally tropical) types according to the morphology of their (leptomorph and pachymorph) rhizomes.
Age of all leaves on a culm of a particular age is the same (either 1 year or 2 years) in monopodial bamboos, whereas that in sympodial bamboos is variable (on average 2-5 years).
Monopodial bamboos shed only their 2-year-old leaves every year, which can cause a dramatic decrease in leaf area, photosynthesis, and consequently shoot/culm production.

Monopodial branching exists, if a continuous main shoot has feeble apical shoots.
Sympodial branching is given, if apical shoots of different generations exist at the same time since the apical meristem of each sympodial branch has either died or is differentiated into a flower, a thorn or a tendril and has thus lost its ability to grow.
