If you want a reliable big fat 'un for your climate, try Phyllostachys vivax. There are green and yellow cultivars, some of which have a few stripes. P. parvifolia is another goer for coolish places, but it is sought after and less available. P. atrovaginata is perhaps the fattest at Kew, but I've never seen it for sale.
