Name this bamboo
A friend from work saw this bamboo at his hunting camp. He said the culms are about 3" diameter about 50' tall. I'm thinking Vivax or Japanese Timber, not sure about the gold colored older culms. What is it?

Re: Name this bamboo
Vivax would be my guess. The older culms will be yellower on many green bamboos, especially if soil nutrition level is low.
