If you don’t have any bamboo thickets growing on your island, you can find some on Mystery Island Tours. It will still drop the regular Bamboo year-round. It will spit out Young Spring Bamboo and Bamboo randomly. To get Young Spring Bamboo, just hit bamboo thickets with your Stone Axe.
Note that there are other bamboo furnishings in the game but these are the ones that the game considers “seasonal,” since they use resources (in this case, Young Spring Bamboo) that can only be collected at specific times of the year. They can also appear in Bottled Messages on the beach.
Recipes that require Young Spring Bamboo can only drop during these months. This means it’ll be available from March to May for Northern Hemisphere players and from September to November for Southern Hemisphere players. During the springtime, Animal Crossing: New Horizons players on Switch are able to collect Young Spring Bamboo from bamboo thickets.īased on our tests, it appears that players can only harvest the Young Spring Bamboo during spring months.
