The Story of The Chinese Bamboo Tree

– Like any plant, growth of the Chinese Bamboo Tree requires nurturing – water, fertile soil, sunshine.

– In its first year, we see no visible signs of activity.

– In the second year, again, no growth above the soil. The third, the fourth, still nothing.

– Our patience is tested and we begin to wonder if our efforts (caring, water, etc.) will ever be rewarded.

– And finally in the fifth year – behold, a miracle! We experience growth. And what growth it is! The Chinese Bamboo Tree grows 80 feet in just six weeks!
