Phyllostachys kwangsiensis seedlings.

Here's my biggest kwangsiensis so far. In Europe this is supposed to be the moso of the north, and it looks kind of like moso, but it's noticeably smaller, or slower growing at this point. This used to be a rare species in the US until it went to flower last year which basically makes it widely available.

 Here's how they started out like. Many of them had variagated leaves like this one. I started out with about 50 seeds, about 30 germinated, and I think so far I have only traded off or given away 8 of them so far.

Here's the latest one that was sent away before most of them were moved up to 1 gallon size pots.
