Bambusa chungii

This fast growing and attractive variety of bamboo will reach full height in an average of 5 years. Reaching 25-30' in an optimal habitat, it is known to grow well in containers or directly in the landscape. B. chungii makes an effective, attractive privacy plant and is adaptable to many soil compositions though it prefers loamy soil. Luckily for most gardens, this bamboo is sympodial, meaning it is a clumping variety but remains non-invasive.
