#3Interesting. They're kind of like code in that sense.

#4What about bamboo? Grows fast grows straight.
- There are bound to be exceptions until a more general rule is found, or
- this is slow speed for bamboo, so it can be sped up even more (at loss of accuracy), or
- some combination of both

#5> How are plants, with no advanced nervous system, able to gather information about their environment to guide their behavior, planning and flexibly executing movement? Sound, maybe. Or chemoreception. Possibly even eye-like structures.
'eye-like structures'?!
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tplants.2016.07.008: Although plants are sessile organisms, almost all of their organs move in space and thus require plant-specific senses to find their proper place with respect to their neighbours. Here we discuss recent studies suggesting that plants are able to sense shapes and colours via plant-specific ocelli.
Cannot access the study but this sounds fascinating!

For bamboo you see the fast part, but not the slow part. The shoots are prepared over a number of months where all the nodes are made underground. Then when it is ready the space between the nodes is added causing the very fast telescoping action.

Same with the Empress Tree.

Not sure if others have the same problem, but where I live (Spain), sci-hub.se is unavailable. sci-hub.st still works though, so mirror is here: https://sci-hub.st/https://www.cell.com/trends/plant-science...
