My neighbour has a large clump of bamboo, which is about 10-12ft high, and
I
really like it. It has large mid-green leaves about 10 inches long and
light brown bamboo canes. Can anyone tell me what it might be?

Here's a picture if that helps...

Bambos grow very easily and quickly from a cutting but with any bamboo I
strongly recommend planting it in some sort of buried container such a as
builders bucket to constrian its spread.
