My mother planted Bamboo to harvest the shoots. Should I cut the canes down?

1 Answer

Answer :

I have never tried it, but I understand that they are harvested when the shoots first appear above the ground, when they are about 6–8 inches high. Once the cane is big and hard, it is no good. In other words, they are just that the shoots, not the mature canes. Let me know how it goes.
