Hi

Grown from Ebay seed, couple of years old.

Sorry, lost my labels after a recent move.

Perhaps D. Strictus, since that is a typical stand-in?

Might have been advertised as D. Giganteus, P. Heteroclada or B. Lako.

Thanks!
Nice upsize after lots of December rain in Pretoria

I'd guess Bambusa lako. It's getting dark on the photos, it does seem to have Bambusa culm sheath (hard to tell tho). Keep it growing for a while and you'll be able to ID it. eBay seeds can be whatever they want anyway so you can't be sure what you got until it starts maturing.
