Jordon,
It looks like a phyllostachys that's been topped repeatedly. I have a vivax that looks similar to that. I'd guess bissetii.

from a few inches to several feet.... :lol:

thats a huge group of plants! I am not familiar with all of them, so I cant ID the plant in your photos for sure, and it looks like it is still small, so that makes ID hard or impossible also.

That is true Bissetti should grow well in our zone! I have not yet picked up one of those. I should do that this year.

Jordan,
If the bamboo was growing near you then it would have to be something hardy, and would narrow the possible IDs, and be a good choice for you to grow.
I asked about the hand in the picture because I had assumed you were a young man (deer hunting and such), and the hand in the picture appears to be female. Not that there's anything wrong with a woman bow hunting, but I would have been surprised if it had been your hand.
