Let $M$ be a complete Kähler manifold with nonnegative bisectional curvature. Suppose the universal cover does not split and $M$ admits a nonconstant holomorphic function with polynomial growth, we prove $M$ must be of maximal volume growth. This confirms a conjecture of Ni. There are two essential ingredients in the proof: The Cheeger-Colding theory on Gromov-Hausdorff convergence of manifolds; the three circle theorem for holomorphic functions.
