The growth environment and growth characteristics of spring bamboo shoots

Spring bamboo shoots growing environment conditions

Spring bamboo shoots are widely grown in China, including Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, Taiwan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Zhejiang, Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan and other places. They prefer warm and humid climate and are often distributed in areas below 500 meters above sea level.

Spring bamboo shoot growth temperature

Spring bamboo shoots prefer a warm environment, generally requiring an annual average temperature greater than 17.5 degrees. They have a certain degree of cold resistance and can withstand short-term temperatures as low as minus 6 degrees. Over time, they will suffer from frost damage and need to take measures to keep warm.

Spring bamboo shoots growth humidity

Spring bamboo shoots prefer a humid environment and often grow on the banks of streams and rivers and on river beaches. The annual precipitation in the planting area is above 1,400 mm. During the maintenance period, water them frequently, once every 2-3 days, to keep the soil slightly moist.

Spring bamboo shoots growing soil

Spring bamboo shoots usually grow in fertile soil. Only when the soil is fertile enough can high-quality spring bamboo shoots be grown. A large amount of water is needed during the growth cycle. It is suitable to establish bamboo gardens on hillsides and river beaches with deep, loose, fertile and good drainage.

Spring bamboo shoot growth cycle and process

Spring bamboo shoots usually grow after the beginning of spring, specifically in February. The growth of spring bamboo shoots is divided into three stages: they emerge from the soil from February to April in early spring, they initially grow in mid-to-late April, and they mature after May. Spring bamboo shoots are edible in all three stages, but the taste will be different.
