Re: Why is Moso so hard to grow large?

Up here in Oregon, Bamboo Garden has a huge groove with Moso over 5 inch diameter. This year I'm finally getting some shoots, and some are over 2 inch dia I'm pretty excited. I guess getting 15 and 25 gallon plants is paying off

Re: Why is Moso so hard to grow large?

What I'm noticing is that moso really likes to put out rhizomes. This year being the first shooting season in the ground I got 10+ whip shoots and no real shoots. This was on big 20 to 25 gallon specimens. They are running all over though...:-)

Re: Why is Moso so hard to grow large?

Well the 20 gallon Moso is putting up some shoots, there probably 3/4 dia, and it ran pretty good for being fresh in the ground. My soil here sucks, its clay, i have a bunch of compost down, so I hope it helps. With the Oregon rain and the clay soil its not a good mixture

Re: Why is Moso so hard to grow large?

Well I went to Bamboo Garden today and bought 2 15 gallon and 1 20 gallon Moso . I won't get them until the end of June but I'm so excited to plant them at my new house. They were all real healthy and shooting. Most of the shoots were at least 1.5 inches. There going to get lots of sun and I'm going...

Large super tall privacy screen

Hi so I sold my house and left most of my bamboos and am eager to start a new grove and I need a big tall privacy screen around 35-50 feet tall.

Re: Why is Moso so hard to grow large?

Ive been to bamboo garden many times and they do have a nice grove, I believe last year they had some 4 inch culms last year. Has any one started with a large specimen say around 25 feet tall and with large culms? I did this with my atro, henon, and bisetti and had good results, so I'm curious if it...

I ve noticed that there aren't many pictures of large sized Moso growing In peoples yards. I've heard Moso is temperamental and harder to grow than other bamboo, why is this? If I do t...
