Osmaston! found that Dendrocalamus giganteus at Dehra 
Dun, India, began to develop new culms toward the middle of 
the rainy season and that these did not complete their growth 
until two months after the rains normally ceased. It would 
appear from this that all bamboos do not behave alike in respect 
to their season of growth.
