You'll probably struggle to track one down, but you could try Pan Global Plants (collection only though). Mike Brisbane at Jungle Giants normally stocks this but they are micro-propped. Or you could just post on the forums and try and beg or buy a division.

It's not impossible to find but sometimes tricky as I think the places that do sell it still have a waiting list.

Good luck.

Maybe he means tissue cultured?

[ghmerrill]

I remember reading something on the bamboos, that what we are calling "tissue culture" is not truly tissue culture, but micropropagation. I cant remember the difference betwixt the two, but that is what he is refering to.

[gaz rogers]

Correct. Micropropagation can be defined as:- growing plants from seed or small pieces of tissue under sterile conditions in a laboratory on specially selected media.
