As of Animal Crossing: New Horizons, you only have one fruit or type of tree to worry about. It is your native fruit tree, but there are many more to discover and grow. Bamboo is one of the rarest and most confusing. It can only be found in select locations and is somewhat random where it spawns. Once you've discovered it, you'll want to know what it is and how to create one yourself. Here's what to do with bamboo and where to plant it in Animal Crossing: New Horizons.
What to do with bamboo and where to plant it
Like many things in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, bamboo doesn't have a single use. It's not like wood or iron nuggets where it's needed often enough, but it's similar in that you're not actively using the item itself. Instead, it's just another crafting material that will be vital for future furniture making, once you have the DIY recipe. But building a single piece of furniture might not seem worth all the effort to find this rare item, which can only be found by using a Nook Miles Ticket to visit a mysterious island.
Once you or one of your friends finds one, you can dig near the tree to get a bamboo shoot that you can replant at home. They grow like trees, so plant them in grass with room around them to grow. New bamboo shoots will appear next to the adult bamboo stem after the usual three days and you can dig them up. Once you have a few, the real thing to do with bamboo is to sell it, with prices changing as the game grows, but they will often yield much more than normal fruit, so make sure you to harvest and sell them often.
Hope this explains what to do with bamboo and where to plant it in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. They are one of the rarest and least used items in the game. However, once you have a good farm growing, they are a big soure to Bells.
