Bamboo is about 17ft tall and about 1inch thick. Canes are very smooth to the touch. Canes were bright green color, but we had terrible colds this winter, so I think frosts killed the canes, and now they changed color. You can see the original color near the ground level. Here are some pics of shoots.

Thanks, but don't think that's it... Is it possible that no one else on this forum won't try to guess? I thought this was a bamboo forum...

Re: Can please someone identify this ph. bamboo?
You may want to post more shots when the culms elongate more. These are not easy species to identify.
Sure doesn't look like the sheaths of viridiglaucescens that David Arnold posted a while ago....

Re: Can please someone identify this ph. bamboo?
It does look more like: http://www.bambooweb.info/ShowBambooPic ... t=*&Genus=*
Shoot size is far from mature, which means it can be different from those on adult plant. I also mentioned viridiglaucescens, because it's supposed to be one of most used bamboo around here in Europe, beside aurea. I actually have a grove nearby and I also tried to ID it. The closest I came with identification is P. viridiglaucescens - topic about it should still be somewhere on this forum. BTW, shoots on nearby grove also look a bit different than those you posted. Darker. Might be that it's different bamboo.
Some photos from other sources that look more like the plant I talk about - all are supposed to be viridiglaucescens and all are from Europe:

Re: Can please someone identify this ph. bamboo?
How unique is the curve, particularly in that culm on the left? Does that not narrow down the possibilities a lot?

Re: Can please someone identify this ph. bamboo?
I think you may be right, now it kinda looks like ph. viridiglaucescens... If anyone else could confirm it. Here are some new pics
