I would be interested in hearing how you managed your plantings. Did you start in started pots?
And how is it doing after 6 years? What percentage of the area is
covered? And how big are the culms; average and max?
I am interested in doing something in Northern Alabama and an looking to
see if I need to start with larger stock or if seed planting is viable.

> 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.
