When do bamboo shoots germinate
The germination time of different bamboos varies slightly, generally in spring and fall, during the first month of the bamboo is possible to germinate.
Shoots grow from the underground bamboo whips every spring and develop into new bamboo. The bamboo whip is not its root, but the underground stem. Underground stems can be divided into three types: single-axis type of underground stems can continue to grow, buds are born on both sides, the side shoots develop into bamboo shoots; axis of the top buds develop into bamboo shoots, side shoots to produce new underground stems, connected to the formation of a joint axis, the underground stems to produce bamboo culms dense clumps of pandas like to eat Discovery Bamboo and Chinese Orange Bamboo, belongs to this category; in addition, there is also a kind of double-axis type is a mixture of the above two kinds of type.
Bamboo shoots germination time
I.
Scattered bamboo: scattered bamboo is usually in the spring in March to May to start shoots, most of the bamboo species in June basically complete the high growth, and branching and leafing, in August to September a lot of long whip, into November, with the lowering of the temperature, physiological activities gradually slow, to the following year, February, accompanied by the rise in temperatures, and gradually resumed physiological activities. According to this growth rhythm, the ideal planting season for loose bamboo should be from October to February, especially in October, the "little spring" is the best.
In winter, planting bamboo from November to December, despite the low rainfall and dry weather, the physiological activities of bamboo tend to be weaker at this time, transpiration is not strong, and the survival rate of planting bamboo is also higher. In the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, bamboo transplantation can be used in normal years during the rainy season. But it is only appropriate to transplant in close proximity, and the root plate with soil multiparty can ensure a high survival rate.
In the northern region, due to the severe winter cold, it is appropriate to plant bamboo in the fall in October and early spring in February. It is worth noting that the bamboo should not be planted during the spring shoots from March to May. "The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have a good understanding of what you are doing and how you are doing it. As long as the quality of the mother bamboo is guaranteed, carefully managed, and the water balance is maintained, the rest of the year can be planted except for the hot three-volt days and the cold three-nine days. If you use containerized bamboo seedlings, the north and south regions can be planted in all seasons, to ensure survival.
Two,
Clumping bamboo: generally March to May bamboo culm germination, June to August bamboo shoots, and clumping bamboo does not tolerate severe cold. Therefore, it is best to plant the clumping bamboo in the spring in February before the buds of the bamboo have not yet sprouted and the bamboo liquid begins to flow. Similarly, if the management conditions are good or containerized bamboo seedlings, you can also plant bamboo in all seasons.
Third,
Mixed bamboo: mixed bamboo growth and development rhythms between scattered bamboo and plexus bamboo, May to July bamboo shoots long bamboo, so planting bamboo season in the fall and winter October to December and spring 2 to 3 is appropriate.
The growth cycle of bamboo shoots
Bamboo shoots are harvested from April to November every year, and the harvesting period is from July to August. Bamboo shoots shoot head just exposed to the surface of the soil for the harvesting of the right time, too late harvesting, fiber, with a bitter taste. Bamboo shoots, also known as yucca slices, can be eaten in winter, spring and summer seasons of the year, fresh bamboo shoots.
Fresh bamboo shoots have a high water content, 90% of the water content of the spring bamboo shoots, 85% of the winter bamboo shoots, is a tender food, intolerant of storage and long-distance transportation. As a vegetable, has always been loved by the people, its flavor is fragrant and fresh, and is regarded as a treasure in the dish. Bamboo shoots can not be eaten raw, cooking alone has a bitter, astringent flavor, bad taste, but the bamboo shoots and meat stir-fried with the flavor is particularly delicious. Bamboo shoots can do soup, can also be cooked, can make many delicious dishes. Such as bamboo shoots crucian carp soup, bamboo shoots burned pork, bamboo shoots boiled porridge, bamboo shoots also made into dried bamboo shoots, yucca slices and canned food.
