Carlos,

My first inclination was to say probably Bambusa textilis.  Looks like a green bamboo which has a golden toast color provided by the sun.  To separate the ID from perhaps Bambusa tuldoides, does this bamboo have branch buds (or branches) on the lower culm portion or are the culm nodes on the lower portion absent any branch buds?

Can you get a picture of the clump?  What about diameter size of the culm?  Any other information you can provide to help with the ID?


I would like to invite you to consider joining the bamboo forum:  Bambooweb.info.  It won’t cost you anything (as in free and no SPAM or pop-ups).  There are over 500 members and they range from novice to near bamboo expert (a few members are even from Mexico).  Temperate and tropical bamboo people from all around the world are on the forum.  And you don't have to know anything about bamboo to join or to ask questions.

There is also a bamboo image galley of over 4000 pictures of over 400 bamboos:
