Phyllostachys edulis Moso Avery Island

Phyllostachys edulis Moso Avery Island Clone

From the grove started by E. L. McIlhenny in 1910 on Avery Island, LA home of the Tabasco Co. Also called Phyllostachys pubescens and Phyllostachys hetrocycla pubescens. A running bamboo with a distinct groove above pairs of branches at mid-culm nodes. Produces fewer but larger culmes than most other Phyllostchys varieties. All Moso has on and off years for shooting and a two year leaf replacement cycle. This clone shoots at the same time as the Harbrich Moso. The largest of the hardy bamboos. Shoots in spring. Young culms are covered with a velvety coat of soft hairs. It is one of the most used bamboos in China where it is used for food, timber, paper, plywood, flooring and many other things. We beleive this grove was started from a division from the Abbeyville, LA grove started in 1904. Avaliability of shipping size divisions is sometimes limited because Moso does not want to product small culms.
