Default Clumping Large 20foot Hedge Bamboo

Hi there,

Can anyone recommend a good clumping bamboo for screening / hedge approx 20ft high? I'd be happy if it went a couple foot higher but would not want much lower. Ideally it would be good to have good dense foliage to specifically keep out noise, aside from that I am not too concerned on appearance.

This is on the North facing side of a property so would be subject to Northerly winds and would also be in partial shade prob receiving at best 6 hrs sun a day.

I've been looking online but it seems like the clumping Fargesia varieties don't have the height while the running Phyllostachys variety have the height but will run.

I have about 20m worth to cover with this and it is in an awkward enough location so really do not want to have to put in a root barrier.

Cheers in advance,
M
