When did bamboo shoots grow?

When did bamboo shoots grow? Let's take a look at Bian Xiao's sharing today.

Bamboo shoots are seasonal delicacies in spring, and many people like them. Bamboo shoots in spring usually break through the ground at the right time. If they are not picked, they will grow into bamboo.

Generally speaking, bamboo shoots grow from March to May in spring. According to different bamboo varieties, the growth time of spring bamboo shoots will be different. Usually, scattered bamboo shoots will grow in March-May. Clustered bamboos generally germinate in March-May and shoot in June-August; Mixed bamboo shoots usually appear in May-July.

When is the right time to start digging bamboo shoots?

We should pay attention to the time of picking and digging bamboo shoots. Spring bamboo shoots have three stages, the initial stage is from early February to early April, the middle stage is from mid to late April, and the later stage is May and beyond. So when is the best time to pick and dig bamboo shoots?

Under normal circumstances, the best time to dig bamboo shoots is from the middle and late March to the Qingming period. However, due to the different regional temperatures, the growth of bamboo shoots may be early or late every year. Therefore, when spring comes, we should often go to the bamboo forest to observe and dig bamboo shoots as soon as possible, otherwise the sprouted bamboo shoots will soon grow tall and cannot be eaten.

It is suggested to dig bamboo shoots in the early and late stages of bamboo shoots, which is unlikely to become bamboo; In the middle stage, bamboo shoots are large, robust and strong in vitality, and can be cultivated into bamboo. They are only suitable for digging small-diameter bamboo shoots, weak bamboo shoots, shallow whip bamboo shoots, crooked bamboo shoots, small bamboo shoots and retreating bamboo shoots.

Expanding knowledge: matters needing attention in digging bamboo shoots

1, pay attention to the position.

Spring bamboo shoots generally grow around mature bamboos, especially those with healthy growth and lush green leaves. Every bamboo has a bamboo whip, which is basically parallel to the bamboo branches on the bottom plate, and the bamboo shoots basically grow on the bamboo whip, so pay attention to whether there are bamboo shoots in the direction of the bamboo whip.

Step 2 pay attention to the land

Spring bamboo shoots that have not sprouted and just sprouted are fresh and tender, about two to three centimeters from the ground. With more spring bamboo shoots, they will look old and hard, and it is not easy to find spring bamboo shoots. Pay attention to the soil quality when digging bamboo shoots. When the soil is soft and slightly uplifted, it is very likely that new bamboo shoots will grow under it.

3. Don't dig around.

Some spring bamboo shoots with good growth, well-developed roots and straight pagodas should be reserved as seedlings to make them grow into bamboo and ensure the bamboo yield in the coming year.
