The majority of running bamboo grows very well in a cold climate. The largest of the running Bamboo is Moso , with a maximum diameter of 120mm and 22m high. Moso is very popular in Asia because it is readily available. Most of China's Moso is used in making paper and floorboards. Most of the scaffolding in Asia is constructed from the clumping bamboo.
Most clumping bamboo requires minimal maintenance.
The bamboo we use for our flooring comes from China. Like the name, they are a beautiful giant bamboo. Moso shoots are a real delicacy in the Orient. These young shoots are covered with a fine, fuzzy covering that looks like velvet.
