Does anybody have an idea what plant this might be? I tried google
searches for "asparagus bamboo" but all results(!) return 33 pages
of vegetable websites' indexes ".....asparagus, bamboo....."

Thanks in advance!

What did the nursery say it was? Bamboo comes in all sizes so how can
you say it is smaller than bamboo?

Its those habitus that get you every time.

Go back to where you got it and ask them what it is.

Asparagus is a very large genus but I get the impression your plant might
actually be a Ruscus.
