Volt HQ in Orange
Electronics company moved from the East Coast and built a new corporate headquarters with two large central courtyards. In 1990 15 gallon pots of our Bambusa vulgaris vittata was installed in one courtyard and Phyllostachys bambusoides in the other. Pleioblastus was installed as a groundcover but slowly died out. Our photos were taken in 2004.
I feel a good amount of sensitive pruning and an increase in the amount of water would improve the appearance of the plants considerably.
