I took this picture yesterday of a moso seedling that I am growing outside. I thought it was a nice image of the hairs.Image

Look like I'm sitting in the sea, staring at sea urchins. Very visually stimulating pic. I won't need sugar today.

A couple of images of my moso seedling. I am growing this one in my daughters window. I left some outside but they looked like toast when the snow melted about a week ago.

Those baby mosos sure do have beautiful characteristics. I too was immediately enamored with their setae. I wish I hadn't had to give up on my seedlings, but they were just too wimpy for my climate here.

At least you tried to be the moso king. Probably need northern province seed. And then you need to grow out 100,000 seed. One should be hardy enough here, at least in theory. You can be the salix king and I'll be the poplar king.
