[bamboo-plantations] Re: Micropropagation of bamboos

Gigantis Bamboo plantation Hi Peter,
For your interest I have approx, 10 acres of Moso here in the NW of Tassie, just coming into their sixth year. I have trialled many of the tropical clumping species in my micro climate but with little success. They are designed for the tropics. I understand the reluctance to pursue a running species like Moso, that has such a long lead in time, but I have found that it is really the only species worth pursueing on an ecological scale that suits our conditions. I ended up getting my seed from China and was a simple and cheap process. Now its just a wait and see game and at this stage I am happy with its progress, but could have done a lot better if I knew then what I know now.

Cheers Henry
