Did you know that when you plant Chinese bamboo seeds in the ground, that it can take up to 4 or 5 years for the first shoots to show? And did you know that as soon as the first shoots emerge, it then only takes about 6 weeks for the plant to grow to reach 90 feet in the air?

The trick here though, that you still have to nurture and care for those seeds through all those years of not being able to see anything above ground. Otherwise you won’t get that dramatic growth spurt at the end.
