I will like everyone to tell me the answer to this riddle. In the far east,the people planted a tree called the chinese bamboo,during the first four years, they watered and fertilized the plant with seemingly little or no result,then the fifth year,they again watered and fertilized-and in five weeks time ,the tree grew 90 feets high,the obvious riddle or question is- did the tree grew up to 90 feets in 5weeks or in 5 years?

In 5 years! Think with me... Since they planted it, watered and fertilized, the plant was already growing. We can count that time. On the fifth year the results appeared, but the plants was growing, "seemingly little or no result".
So, I pick the 5 years. Am I right?
