My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.
Hi! Can anyone tell me.....can I maintain Otatea to about 15' x 15'? It's hard to find info regarding this, and especially regarding spread/width. I'm in Los Angeles. Thanks so much!
Ok...then we're talking about Otatea acuminata aztecorum, which is a very nice-looking bamboo. This bamboo gets to about 15-20' high. All Otateas are clumpers, but fall in the category of "open clumpers," which means they can spread out at the base a little more than standard clumpers, but not cause the unpredictable problems that one encounters with running bamboo. If you are talking about maintaining it in a 15' X 15' space, I don't think you will have a problem, since you can just cut down new culms if they start growing outside your preferred area (it won't harm the plant). However, since the form of this bamboo is weeping, you may find that you will need to sometimes take out desirable culms that sit a fair ways back because their tops lean too far out.
Here is a link to some photos that may be of interest to you...
