Bamboo growth and harvest
Moso in China
To make bamboo forest growing well, each year you have to cut either shoots or poles, alternatively year by year (in most areas of bamboo forest), to maintain certain bamboo in the area. The harvesting quantity each year, either shoots or poles is 10% to 20% of the total bamboo. Bamboo grows from bamboo shoot to its final diameter and height only takes 2 to 3 months, after that it grows its body harder. A mature bamboo pole needs 5 to 6 years of living, which has the best quality.
