Why is that the tallest in your area?

I grow Phyllostachys Vivax and Phyllostachys pubescence which grow absurdly big here in the UK. The former grows 20ft from seed in 3 years! (sudden jump on the third only 3ft at 2 years). Pubescence is a bit slower getting started. Perhaps they are TOO BIG for your purpose?
