Calif_Sue, I'd be much obliged to show you some of the nurseries and tell you the "who's who" in town. Thomas Hobb's has great books and a neat nursery. I've added quite a few plants to PF over the past month so be sure to take a look as they are from VanDusen Botanical Gardens and UBC Botanical Gardens. I also do propagation and assist Tropic to Tropic plants so I'm kinda partial to what I grow. I'm tryin' to get him signed up as a DG sponsor. Unfortunately bamboo can't be shipped to the US for some obsure reason.

Kell, I'm more hands-on and get in there and do the digging, potting, seeding, cuttings, etc. We're coming up to bamboo digging season so I guess I'll be working on my biceps.

Mike, interested how your Moso is doing as they never really prosper here and I've never figured out why. I'm not sure if we just don't get hot enough or whatever but it doesn't seem to be winter temperatures.
