Where to Find Bamboo Pieces

Bamboo doesn't occur as a naturally-growing item on any of the game'south starting islands. Instead, you'll have to go out and discover information technology by visiting mystery islands, some of which will have bamboo growing on them. In that location are 3 principal ways to get the most out of a bamboo island:

Hit the stalks with any axe to harvest bamboo pieces until they don't provide farther pieces.
Eat fruit and utilise a shovel to dig up whole stalks.
Dig up the marked spots around the base of the grown bamboo to go bamboo shoots.

Doing and then and filling your inventory volition give yous both the resources to build the diverse bamboo-based recipes, as well equally planting your own stalks at home, whether it'southward to add together a certain flair to your isle or just go on farming from them.

Bamboo and Young Spring Bamboo can have many uses for recipes. | *Joel Franey/USgamer, Nintendo*

How to Get Young Spring Bamboo

Notably, Animal Crossing differentiates betwixt regular bamboo pieces and young spring bamboo, both of which take unlike uses in different recipes. You can go young spring bamboo the same manner, by hit a stalk with your axe, but information technology must be within springtime months (March-May in the Northern Hemisphere and September-Nov in the Southern Hemisphere). If this is the case, there'll be a decent chance that information technology drops young spring bamboo each fourth dimension y'all hitting information technology, which looks the same merely for a lighter greenish colouration. If you're in the Spring currently, we recommend harvesting as much of this as possible to comport you through the rest of the year.

How to Get Bamboo DIY Recipes

There are at least a dozen recipes involving bamboo that are currently know, including special walls, floors, and a lamp that looks similar a Bamboo Shoot.

Hopefully that cleared matters up, because the only matter that should BAMBOO-zle you (sob) is the corporeality of Animal Crossing content we've got here at USG.
