see if I need to start with larger stock or if seed planting is viable.
Starting w/ dug "starts" will put your plants some years ahead of seed:: Of course if y9u are speaking of planting large areas, the Seed or tissue culture would almost be a must.
Been there, done that. If one is a "true" nursery person, with all the attendance knowledge, then seedlings, may be a viable way to go, but for me, dug starts are MUCH quicker, and is done correctly should give 100% successful plants. Moso is NOT one of the easiest bamboo's to transplant, and establish.. Right time of year, and good techniques, are MOST helpful..
Been there, done THAT also. I've killed so many Moso's trying to make them grow where they don't want to be, that I've given up on them. (Of course "I" don't plan on "growing my own house" either...
