2 years ago I ordered Sinobambusa Intermedia & Pseudosasa Longiligula. When repotting I forgot to label them. I think this is Sinobambusa Intermedia but could use a second opinion. Thanks!

Re: What am I?
The bottom 2 photos look to me like the Pseudosasa, your shoots look more mature than mine are this year as the Ps is not at all hardy and top killed last winter as always so the shoots look immature on mine and yours are not familiar.
I have both of these bamboo and can easily tell them apart as the Sinobambusa has several white culms - someone on the French forum posted photos of theirs and it did not have white culms which surprised me. My early observation is that the Sinobambusa can take in the range of 15F more cold than the Ps. longiligula.

Re: What am I?
Sorry I should have said all of the above photos were of the same plant. One thing i've noticed is that the plant #1 has a very similar form as my S.Tootsik-Albo.:
The other plant has not grown very fast here, its putting up alot of small shoots that look immature to my eye. I'm not sure if a positive ID is possible on that one yet.
Here are some photos the second plant:

Re: What am I?
I'm pretty sure the 1st one is the Ps and the 2nd the Sino.

Thanks for adding photos of your Intermedia, it looks like the shoots on yours look alot like plant #2 here. Love those ghostly white culms, was one of the main reasons I bought mine.

Plant #1 in the big black tub has revealed itself as Pseudosasa Longiligula. This big shoot is showing off it's hairy nodes.
