I'm growing yellow groove Phyllostachys aureosulcata, and my tallest cane is up around 17 feet now. Not too bad for zone 5a! It's four years old now though. We're also limited here in which varieties we can grow. It took three years before it got tough enough to not winter kill some of the canes in the winter, but this year it's bullet-proof.
