anyone experienced with bamboo?
I live in east Tennessee (zone 7) and have about 10 acres i could turn into a groove and no neighbors near me to worry about overgrowth. Was looking into moso bamboo, and sites will say hardy up to -10 degrees and zone 6, but we get winters down to -10-15 every decade or so. Doesn't have to be moso, just some nice timberlike bamboo.
And how would you suggest starting out? Plants from nurseries are like 100 bucks ea, but I can find seeds on amazon for next to nothing and figure by next spring out of my greenhouse i should have couple feet tall plants to start in the spring?
