Life is much akin to the growing process of the chinese bamboo tree.
Bamboo tree growth 5 years.
But then what happens on the fifth year is just awesome.
Yes 80 feet in six weeks.
Then they will get bigger and multiply in numbers every year as the colony grows into its maturity.
And what growth it is.
The answer is obvious because had the person growing the chinese bamboo tree stopped nurturing it watering it.
The only thing you know is that the result is supposed to come in 4 years.
And finally in the fifth year behold a miracle.
If you had given up for even the shortest period of time there would be no bamboo.
One morning you wake up and see a small bamboo sprig then the next day an even bigger one and in 5 weeks it has grown up to 90 ft.
The third the fourth still nothing.
While most trees grow steadily over a period of years the chinese bamboo tree doesn t break through the ground for the first four years.
Then in the fifth year an amazing thing happens the tree begins to grow at an astonishing rate.
Our patience is tested and we begin to wonder if our efforts caring water etc will ever be rewarded.
The chinese bamboo tree takes 5 years to grow.
Sometime during the fifth year the chinese bamboo tree sprouts and grows ninety feet in six weeks.
This may not sound like a lot of growth for three years but at a five year level you should have 20 to 40 culms canes 3 4 inches in diameter and 20 feet high under good growing conditions from a single bamboo planting.
Once bamboo is deeply rooted after about 3 years new shoots will emerge in the spring.
You keep watering and keep waiting.
Did the chinese bamboo tree grow in one week or 5 years 1 week.
The point is simple.
It takes 5 to 7 years for the bamboo to reach maturity and be ready for harvest.
These shoots will continue to grow for the next 60 days.
The fifth year you continue to water and fertilize the seed and then take note.
In the second year again no growth above the soil.
However if you were to keep going and water the soil for another year on the fifth year the chinese bamboo tree would grow up to 80 feet in just six weeks.
The chinese bamboo tree grows 80 feet in just six weeks.
Finally after five years the bamboo starts growing and in six weeks it grows to over 80 feet tall.
Now the question is.
