Bamboo Nursery

These culms (canes) are over 6 inches in diameter. At least a few were close to 7 inches. This Moso bamboo is located at the old Fant estate in Anderson, SC

This grove of Moso bamboo is in Anderson, SC. at the old Siveroak cemetary. The S.E. chapter of the ABS makes a point of mainting this particular grove with "clean-up" days each year. Most bamboo lovers have a special place in their heart for Moso.

Another grove at the same location. Most culms are over 4 inches in diameter. This particular grove is also at the Old Silveroak Cemetary but is off the the side and in very wild and overgrown. There is a large ditch thru the middle of the bamboo which would be even bigger except for the fact bambo works so well at controlling erosion.

Two new shoots coming up through the mulch. On their way to becoming giant bamboo. New shoots emerge in very early spring and reach full heigth in just a few weeks. The ground often splits open when fat new shoots emerge.

I started this grove in 1994 with five 5 gallon plants. Several culms are over 4 inches in diameter. This is my oldest, largest grove of Moso bamboo. We keep the grove well groomed, removing dead canes on a regular basis. This is a beautiful bamboo, that always impresses our visitors!

We currently have a limited number of Moso seedlings. Bamboo flowers on only very rare ocassions, making seed very difficult to find. These are unique plants, each an individual clone, genetically different from all other Moso bamboo clones. Take a look here for more info.
