Default trading MOSO seeds with other bamboo rhizomes......

It's this for real? I mean, MOSO seeds?
Does this specie of bamboo gives seeds?


It does. I know that some moso bloomed a few years
ago and I bought several seedlings, one of which is
gradually growing into a grove. I suppose it's possible
that other plants bloomed more recently and that seeds
could be available. I don't know any details. Seed-grown
plants could have slightly different characteristics than
their parent(s), so maybe we'll see some cultivars with
thicker culms or other interesting properties.

I don't know anything about this particular offer of seeds.

As far as I know, bamboo seeds do not keep well.

Bamboos usually die after flowering, though a few
species flower regularly with no apparent ill effects.

Mark., I hope that there are some experts who can tell
us more about these things here
