Can anyone comment on this?

Yes, the spam you replied to was spam. The fact that you reposted enough
of it to include the website for it's spam-i-tude says little good about
you, either.

Bamboo seeds rarely and synchronously (on a worldwide basis - though I
have seen some things that imply that the synchrony might be a bit less
precise that some other info would lead you to believe - ie, seeding
once every 40-100 years, but the "worldwide synchrony" might be over the
course of a couple of years at the point it happens, rather than "all at
exactly the same time." But basically at some point, all the bamboo of a
particular species up and sets seed.

The plant dies once it's gone to seed, so growing it from seed is the
only option to re-establish bamboo plants of that species. I have not
done it from seed, but I doubt its all that shockingly difficult, other
than getting some seed near enough the time of seeding to still be
viable, and it may require a certain amount of time (and/or temperature
and moisture control) to emulate natural exposure and get it to
germinate. Once germinated, it's about as difficult as grass, if you are
within its climate zone.
