Phyllostachys Edulis 'Moso' is the largest temperate bamboo on earth. The 'Moso' culm (cane) sheath is very dark, spotted and hairy and easy to recognize. The sheath ligules, oral setae and auricles are very large. Extremely large culms and tiny delicate leaves make this one highly collectable. 'Moso' is distinguished by relatively short lower internodes in the strongly tapered, furry culms and has unusually small leaves. New plantings grow slowly, but the beauty of this species make it highly sought after. The large shoots make Moso the central species in the bamboo shoot business in both China and Japan.

New shoots emerge very early making this species difficult to grow in the north due to new shoots being very susceptible to frost damage. This species is slow to get established and is best suited for the southeastern U.S. meaning: 

• East of the 95th Meridian West.
• North limit for mature sizes is basically on the southern Tennessee border, 35 parallel north.
• Southern border is a line extending along the southern portion of the Florida panhandle, 30 parallel north.
• Eastern border is the east U.S. coast within the 30-35 parallel north.
• Moso is not limited by normal altitudes ranges within its climate tolerances.

Characteristics of Moso Bamboo
Height:10 - 23 m
Diameter: 8 - 18 cm

Zones: 6-10

Flowers: Flowers and seeds appear about once every 67 years. Phyllostachys edulis  usually flowers sporadically instead of gregariously 
Most bamboo plants use so much energy in the flowering/fruiting that they die shortly thereafter, however, with Moso bamboo this is not always the case. 

Uses: Moso bamboo is grown in large plantations and harvested for a variety of products including timber, fencing, furniture, construction material, paper pulp, plywood, flooring, musical instruments, utensils and rayon for the textile industry. 
It is also the most commonly grown species of bamboo in Asia for harvest of its edible shoots which are eaten locally and/or canned for export.

Planting guide

Choose the timing: the best sowing period is spring or autumn, adjusted according to the local climate.
Prepare the soil: make sure the soil is loose, fertile and well-drained. You can plow it in advance and add an appropriate amount of organic fertilizer.
Sowing method: spread the seeds evenly on the soil surface, lightly cover it with a thin layer of soil, and keep the soil slightly moist. Pay attention to controlling the sowing density to avoid overcrowding.
Maintenance and management: water regularly to keep the soil moist but not too wet. Fertilize in time according to the growth situation to promote the healthy growth of bamboo. At the same time, pay attention to the prevention and control of diseases and pests and keep the planting environment clean.
Be patient: Bamboo grows slowly in the early stages, but once it enters a rapid growth period, it will quickly become a forest. Please be patient and enjoy the fun of planting.
