BTW the place where I got it was about to be bulldozed (new housing
development) and it was about 20-25 feet tall there. It also had a lot
of shoots so it's not a clumping type.

Might be easier if you told us where you were.
first guess
P. aureosulcata.
Got a pic of last tears biggest culm?

A culm is the proper term for the cane, or stalk....

Looks to be a Phyllostachys Nigra variant. If there is no color change
after about 9 months I'd guess it's Ph. Nigra Henon

Could you perhaps sel me a small root division of your bamboo. I a willing to pay shipping plus a few extra dolars for your labor. If so, please let me know...

Thank You,
Michael
