Bamboo planting questions
I wanted to plant 100 Moso seeds along the road in this picture
http://members.cox.net/michaelshaffer/bank.jpg The property line is at the brown mailbox in the distance. Is there anything I should keep in mind when planting? Any tips? Should I cut all that brush out or will the bamboo take it over? I might still use Yellow Vivax if I can find seeds somewhere.. I think if the moso got too high the power company might cut it back anyways. Thanks, Mike |

In 10 or 20 years with luck you might have a stand of bamboo.
Otherwise you can expect to grow those seeds in containers for 5 0r 6 years before they are large enough to set out. |
