I'm new at this Keros, but I noticed your photo looks a lot like the shoot on my Phyllostachys
parvifolia.

I wish i have it, but think that i have Ph. nuda

Nuda was what I thought but it is too young to be certain, the crook in the culm agrees with Nuda.

Bamboo is a little older but still not sure of correct ID?

Can't help with ID but those shoot photos are getting me excited for Spring!

Bamboo fever. It's contagious!

Could it be propinqua Beijing or Li Yu Gan? Looks like that, or a form of Glauca or Fimbriligula but that is rarer.

I was also thinking it might be Phyllostachys propinqua 'Beijing'. It is supposed to be flowering so if it does, we might have found it. Did it start flowering last season?

[kreos123]

There were no blooming last year, if I see, this year blossom , then we will know 100 % corect ID

The new culms on my Beijing always had a hint of blue blush around the nodes - easy to spot.

New culms, but blurry photos.

There you go, that is the blue. I've never been sure if Beijing is the same as Li Yu Gan but suspect it may be, whatever you have is a dead ringer for what I bought as Beijing. What it actually is may be a bigger story, I think it looks like a member of the Glauca clan.
