Where To Get Bamboo In Animal Crossing New Horizons
In order to unlock Bamboo, you need to go to the resource islands with Nook Miles tickets. There isn’t a way to make this happen 100%, but if you keep going you will get a Bamboo island eventually. It took me roughly a week to find one, so hopefully I just had bad luck and you can get one quicker. Once on the island you can dig up bamboo shoots. Plant these on your island and after a few days they will grow into bamboo stalks that you can cut for the bamboo you need to craft with. You can also eat pears/other fruit and dig up the fully grown bamboo stalks and bring them back to your island, making it easier to get bamboo quickly at home. Be careful with the bamboo shoots, it will let you eat them if you click the wrong button.
Another thing to watch out for is what axe you use to chop down the bamboo. Don’t use a metal axe or else you will cut the whole tree down. Instead focus on the flimsy axe or stone axe to keep the trees up and to retrieve bamboo without cutting them down. The last thing you want to do is cut down all the bamboo on your island and be stuck waiting to get lucky with a resource island again. If you have a friend with some bamboo you can trade them a few trees if they are feeling generous.
