Bamboo is a tree in Animal Crossing New Horizons on Nintendo Switch, however, it won't be on your home island. This guide aims to show you how to obtain and grow bamboo in your home!
Bamboo is a true representation of the Zen garden, but to end up with this famous Zen garden, you will need to bring Miles Nook to buy a ticket to a mysterious island. Indeed, this tree does not grow naturally on your island (at least not in this season), it will be necessary to find bamboo shoots. Be careful, cutting the tree is useless to hope to replant it. Here is the process to follow in Animal Crossing New Horizons.
Visit the mystery islands with Nook Miles Tickets until you come across an island with bamboo trees
Gear up with your shovel and dig up small cracks in the ground that look like fossils
These are bamboo shoots!
Do not hesitate to harvest all the pieces of bamboo and young bamboo shoots with your ax.
Back on your island, plant the bamboo shoots
Wait 3-4 days for your bamboo to mature
Should we systematically return to a mystery island to get more bamboo shoots?
When your bamboos have reached maturity, you will be able to see small cracks in the ground (no, it is not an overproduction of fossils on your island) close to the bamboo plants. Take the time to dig them up and then replant them. You can make a real bamboo forest in less than a week.
