How to animate hair particle growth?

Question

Can't find how to animate hair particles growing. For some reason keyframes don't work on the hair length parameter.

How can you do that when using a group configuration? I want to grow leaves and trees. but the end parameter disapears when using group or object. – Jamingrone May 30 '18 at 04:03

Odd that one is ALLOWED to animate the Hair Length in Emission section, and yet this has no effect? – james_t Aug 07 '21 at 19:21
