Hey Michael, I'm absolutely interested in hearing more about your bamboos. I only just became interested in them especially the timber types which are only marginally hardy here in zone 6. (what I wouldn't give for 10 degrees or so !) I started the Moso's from seed this winter so there's not much to them. I'm under the impression that they are kind of slow growing for about 5 years and the magically send up their giant shoots. My initial plan is to grow them in pots for about 3 years and then set them out with winter protection and hope for the best. I'm new to this so would like to hear what you think.
Definitely post some pics of your plants when you get time. Maybe even start a new thread in the "other plants" section. I'm sure there's lots of us here who are interested.
