  4. Lovely story. In fact there are many interesting facts about Bamboo tree. Bamboo trees have the flower and seed that are fire resistance. You can check up after the forest fire where there are bamboo trees, it grows without any problem. Also one the trees sheds its flower the branches dies down and fresh branches grows from the flowers…many more interesting aspects about the Bamboo tree.
