Bamboo is a type of flora that debuted in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Similar to saplings, bamboo shoots must be planted into the ground using a shovel, and they need one square of space around them so they can fully grow. After becoming fully grown in three days, bamboo trees will begin to spawn bamboo shoots underground, which can be dug up using a shovel. If not dug up in one day, bamboo shoots will sprout on their own, growing into more bamboo trees if they have the space to do so.
Appearances[edit]
In New Leaf[edit]
In Animal Crossing: New Leaf, after T.I.Y. expands into T&T Emporium, Leif will begin to sell bamboo shoots for 3,600 Bells. Bamboo shoots can also be obtained through favors from villagers. They may be eaten or given to Shrunk.
In New Horizons[edit]
In Animal Crossing: New Horizons, bamboo trees can be found only on a specific Mystery Island. The player can gather 
bamboo pieces (and 
young spring bamboo during spring) by using an axe. Bamboo shoots are only produced once per set of stalks. Items in the Bamboo Series can be crafted using bamboo pieces, young spring bamboo, and 
bamboo shoots.
Like Animal Crossing: New Leaf, bamboo shoots can also be obtained through favors from villagers. Additionally, they can be obtained from the mail after purchasing turnips from Daisy Mae. They may also be eaten.
