Then, as if by magic, the Moso 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. WOW!!!<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s not magic!   The moso&#8217;s rapid growth is due to the miles of roots it develops during those first five years of getting ready.<br \/>\nSo, remember.  Even if there is no visible change, your roots are healthfully and happily developing beneath the surface, deep within, getting you ready to move forward!
