Rice Shoots generally take 8 days to mature. However, they take only 6 days and do not require watering if planted within 3 tiles of a [[Farm Pond]] in any direction. Rice paddies do not need to be continuous or begin next to the pond to receive the pond benefits.

Rice Shoots planted in most farm tiles take 8 days to mature with watering each day, as with other crops. However, Rice Shoots planted within 3 tiles of a [[Farm Pond]] in any direction are considered to be irrigated, as in a rice paddy. Paddies need not be continuous with each other or adjacent to a pond in order to count as irrigated. Irrigated Rice Shoots take only 6 days to mature and do not require watering.
