Bamboo used for construction purposes must be harvested when the culms reach their greatest strength and when sugar levels in the sap are at their lowest, as high sugar content increases the ease and rate of pest infestation.
Harvesting of bamboo is typically undertaken according to the following cycles.
1) Life cycle of the clump: As each individual culm goes through a 5-7 year life cycle, culms are ideally allowed to reach this level of maturity prior to full capacity harvesting. The clearing out or thinning of culms, particularly older decaying culms, helps to ensure adequate light and resources for new growth. Well maintained clumps may have a productivity 3-4 times that of an unharvested wild clump.
2) Life cycle of the culm: As per the life cycle described above, bamboo is harvested from 2--3 years through to 5--7 years, depending on the species.
3) Annual cycle: As all growth of new bamboo occurs during the wet season, disturbing the clump during this phase will potentially damage the upcoming crop. Also during this high rain fall period, sap levels are at their highest and then diminish towards the dry season. Picking immediately prior to the wet/growth season may also damage new shoots. Hence harvesting is best at the end of the dry season, a few months prior to the start of the wet.
4) Daily cycle: During the height of the day, Photosynthesis is at its peak producing the highest levels of sugar in sap, making this the least ideal time of day to harvest. Many traditional practitioners believe that the best time to harvest is at dawn or dusk on a full moon. This practice makes sense in terms of both moon cycles, visibility and daily cycles.

How does bamboo plants reproduce?
Bamboo commonly grows in clumps. A stalk of bamboo will grow from a seed or rhizome. The stalk produces rhizomes and roots beneath the soil. New stalks appear around the first stalk and within eight years, the original stalk has reached its maturity. The soil beneath the topsoil may become so thick with roots and rhizomes that it is impossible to dig without the aid of saws and picks. This formation of a clump through spreading rhizomes is partly responsible for the classification of bamboo as a grass. Bamboo is one of the world's fastest growing plants and under optimum conditions, may grow almost four feet in a day--fast enough that some say you can hear it growing.
Bamboo is a tribe of flowering perennial evergreen plants. Bamboos are some of the fastest growing plants in the world, with the species being found in diverse climates, from cold mountains to hot tropical ranges.
