MOSO BAMBOO

The moso is a bamboo plant that grows in China and
the far east. After the moso is planted, no visible
growth occurs for up to five years - even under ideal
conditions!

Then, as if by magic, it suddenly begins growing at
the rate of nearly two and one half feet per day,
reaching a full height of ninety feet within six weeks.

But it's not magic. The moso's rapid growth is due to
the miles of roots it develops during those first five
years, five years of getting ready.

"Just because you haven't reached maximum height in
so many years, it doesn't mean that you cannot do
it in a few weeks." - Andres Lara.

'It is no use waiting for your ship to come in unless
you have sent one out." - Belgian Proverb.
