nope, never done boo using seeds but I have propagated some new groves using my backhoe...kinda messy but after a few months all looks natural...if you're looking for a short and smaller boo look at tutsik, from china...I've never seen it in the ground other than the groves I planted 22 years ago...lime green and cream colored leaves...never knew about Karr, I favor that cultivar, green and pink stripes on a cream culm...the striping is indescriminate, some stay all green...

If you ever make a trip down to Okc. Stop by and I'll fill up your caddie's trunk with cane pole cane. Have 2 huge patches...
Oklahoma and Arkansas are two of my Territories. I have a project in OKC and one in Muskogee right now. And two projects in Ft Smith Arkansas.
Love driving through North East Oklahoma. Some beautiful country and mountains.
When I leave Ft Smith to go back to Dallas I take 271 and go the scenic route. Nothing but 2 lanes and country and some mountains. Right there at that beautiful Dam and lake I hit hwy 43 that takes me to Spring Town which is right by hwy 69, which turns into hwy 75 going into Dallas.

mornin brother pute...subgirl, boo takes full sun to reach it's potential...a rule of thumb is the first year it creeps, the second year it crawls, and the third year it runs...I've got 1 giant timor moho black from indonesia that grows almost 1 foot a day when we hit the rainy season...one killer frost and it's dead down to the ground...I'll take a few pics today...

bamboo needs full sun subgirl, lots of water but not ponding soil...most of my groves are 20 years old and need culling, a job that is more than I'm willing to put forth the effort...a chainsaw creates nice holes in the canopy for your outdoor plants...
