Can you tell me what type this is?

I'm looking for a tall bamboo, at least 35' but 45' would be fine. I saw this one that is certainly tall but I wonder how long it would take to get this big and I'd like to know what type it is if anyone can tell.

These are a couple shoots coming out at the base of the grove. The sheath around them is a little fuzzy.

I have another option that is green stemmed and equally tall, I just really like the yellow stem and occasional green stripe.

It would be planted in the ground, we have a limestone base so I'd have to have a trench dug for it. It's tropical here, no chances of a freeze but wind can be high in the spring.

They had some culms already dug but I'm thinking if I buy some I would want them to dig fresh ones, right? Do I want as much of the stem left on as possible? This could be a problem transporting it, I'm in a city. Any ideas on planting it would be happily received.
