Phyllostachys Identification

[Lot 112]

My neighbor(who has since relocated) planted bamboo to create a privacy screen along a cinder block wall.

The bamboo has become established & began sending shoots underneath the foundation of the retaining wall into the adjacent yard.

I was wondering if anybody can identify the variety. The canes are a vibrant green,@ this point they're approximately 20ft. tall.

Those shortened internodes in the second picture, and the long sheath leaves give it away as phyllostachys aurea.

I don't see any shortened internodes. There is no way to ID this plant without shoot pics, and we will have to wait until next spring for that.

Short internodes Ph. aurea

In my initial post I did not make it clear that the photos were of the new shoots in the adjacent yard.

Here are some additional photos:



As I previously stated the shoots are in excess of 20ft tall however they have not began to "leaf out" & some of the sheaths are still attached to the culms.
