Otatea acuminata ssp. Aztecorum
Mexican Weeping Bamboo
 

The long narrow leaves are produced in such abundance that they almost completely obscure the culms. Clumps open with culms spaced up to 1 to 2 feet apart. The small leaves give this plant a very unique appearance. A pleasing feathery fountain-like effect.

20' tall, 1.5" dia culms, good to 22 deg F
