[bamboo-plantations] Micropropagation v seed

Gigantis Bamboo plantation Hi,
Growing from seed is a cheap alternative to the very costly process
of mass micropropergation. If the seeds can be sourced from a very
reliable supply, and in that regard I have my plants from two
different sources but still can not be 100 percent gaurateed that they
are Moso. The ideal way would be to go and get the seeds for yourself.
The same can be said for micropropagation, How long will it be before
they flower and die out? The micropropagated material must have its
history understood before it could be called "safe". If the source of
seed can be relied upon and then the selected individuals cloned then
you would come up with a better chance of a superior plant for your
microclimate.
My plot is only a trial and if all goes well then some
micropropagation of some of these seedlings may well be on the cards.

cheers Henry
