Before it is planted, no obviously growth occurs for up to five years—even under ideal conditions! Then, as if by magic, a plant suddenly begins to grow at the rate of nearly 70 centimeters per day, reached its full height within six weeks. Besides, it's not magic. The bamboo's rapid growth resulted from the miles of roots it develops during those first five years, five years of getting ready.
