Hello Brad,

Your help is much appreciated. The shoots are a strange and dark purplish color.
There is no yellow in the grooves. :cry:

Like Brad already mentioned, Phyllostachys aureosulcata 'Alata' is solid green and does not have the yellow groove. I also think he's spot on with his ID. I'd say 'Alata'.
Shoot is aureosulcta - just take a look at sun tan of young shoot on the picture, the stripes on sheaths of the same young shoot and the fuzzy texture. The last 2 pictures made things clear.
