Still, it seems to me that if anyone is considering starting a large-scale
plantation of specific bamboo species, bamboo seeds shouldn't be the primary
option - and probably not an option at all.
Right on Robert:: I have long "suggested" to folks that they NOT buy
bamboo seeds from Ebay, or anyone else that they don't know personally. The
ONLY person I would even think about using Moso seeds from would be our friend
Marler. (and HIS source ).. not to be mentioned..
I've killed more Moso that I care to talk about:: and I finally discovered
that my soil was too high pH, for Moso, and I was NOT watering it enough...
I decided that it was not worth it to me, to amend this soil sufficiently
to grow Moso.. Especially when I can grow the other "timber' bamboo's with
NO care, other than watering the first year to get them established.
After that, they have to survive on their own.. AND THEY DO..
