Besides the sprouting time, do moso's grow fast? Where can I get some?

Be careful. Moso bamboo can spred very fast when planted out doors and can destroy your backyard if you dont cut or contain the plant with a barrior.

I would suggest buying a few moso plants from one of the temperate bamboo nurseries. Let your grove develop from true clones of your desired species. Most seed sources are a scam. You could be wasting valuable growth time with seedlings of unknown origin.

Cool video...

I too am looking to start a bamboo grove.

I just bought 200 moso seeds and 200 heteroclada (water bamboo) seeds and about 3 weeks ago i bought 20 moso seeds to experiment with and like you in about 2 weeks i got 2 seedlings... the rest are still germinating.

Good luck
