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?

Living in a zone 5b/6b limits me on the bamboo I can plant. From talking to bamboo growers the colder the climate the shorter the bamboo. P.rubromarginata just averages out to be the tallest.
