Hi Lucy,

I am quite sure that it is a Pseudosasa Japonica.

I have one on my garden that was planted in the ground 2 years ago and is
very happy.

There is loads of info on the internet about this bamboo, so a search on
Google or similar would help you.

Only slight problem is that they can be a bit of a runner, but this is
relatively easily curbed with a sharp eye and sharp spade ;-!

I buried corrugated metal lawn edging around mine and that seems to be
keeping it in place.
