I was hoping that someone could identify this species of bamboo. I planted this about 3 years ago, it is really growing this year. Also, some information about the species would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I have tried to upload photos of the plant.

Hi tikamars,
It looks like Pseudosasa japonica (http://www.bamboocraft.net/bamboo/showgallery.php?cat=532) - Arrow Bamboo
Maximum Height: Around 18ft (6M)
Maximum Diameter: 0.8" (2cm)
Minimum Temperature: 0F (-18C) Rhizomes can survive colder temperatures but grows much smaller.

If you have any larger pics feel free to upload them at the above category.
