I've grown thousands of moso seeds. I find that the germination rate is around 30% with fresh seeds. You can find my blogs/pictures of them by simpling searching (moso seedling) in a google search and mine are on the first page.
I do suggest buying at least a few hundred because most don't germinate, and the ones that do may have problems, and it may take a few tries to actually grow them successfully.
I have my whole first seed exp documented on a bamboocraft forum thread.
@miltonrosario Thanks. I planted them with the smaller point upwards, vertically. Usually the fatter or thicker end is where roots comes out. Good luck with your seeds!
Moso seeds can be tricky to grow at the beginning, but once they start making shoots and bushing out, they are pretty easy to grow, especially once they are planted straight in the ground in natural conditions.
@miltonrosario it doesn't matter which way you plant them( or any seed for that matter ), they grow upwards no matter which way up they are! :) clever plants! :P
Shitty videos

If you type in moso seed experiment in any search engine, you should find a thread on the first time I tried moso seeds.
As far as other things on growing bamboo, it can be found under Steve's bamboo garden

No wayyyy! Love that you're planting the moso too ^_^ We currently have 4 coming up. If you peel the outer skin off, they will germinate faster.
