Bamboo shoots are produced by buds on the reproductive roots of bamboo, and each bud can grow. Bamboo shoots in daily life are often divided into winter bamboo shoots and spring bamboo shoots. Some bamboo root buds begin to form in winter, but they can't grow into bamboo, because they are too tender to resist the cold in winter, so they often die in the soil. In spring, after spring, a large number of buds begin to grow faster and become bamboo shoots. So bamboo is grown from bamboo shoots in spring.

Therefore, winter bamboo shoots should actually be dug up to ensure the nutrition in the soil. But winter bamboo shoots are delicious and expensive, and in the process of digging, it is easy to destroy the buds that have not yet grown. In the south, many bamboo forests have been destroyed due to improper digging of winter bamboo shoots.
