Growing bamboo from seed?

Hi, has anyone grown bamboo from the seed before and had success? How long is the germination process an How fast does it grow after germinating? Just curious because I think u can get a lot of seeds for cheap an I want a lot of bamboo. Any varieties

Re: Growing bamboo from seed?

Given that you are at best a zone 5, I would not suggest growing bamboos from seed as it would take way too long, and they need warmer temperatures to get to maturity.

You could check out the bambooweb forums, but I believe that in your climate, you may need to stick to the absolute hardiest bamboos, or cold hardy clumping varieties ie fargesias.

A winter like this one would have killed every species of bamboo to the ground in your climate.
