Can you give more info on the plant?

Where it came from or what the 'mother' plant looked like...how tall and size of culms.

Unfortunately for you, there are about 1200 species of bamboo, and many of them look exactly like yours in the juvenile stage. The hair-like structures help narrow things down a little, but not enough. It's probably some species of Phyllostachys. As your bamboo gets older, it may be easier for us to see some more distinctive characteristics that are specific to a particular species. As kentuck points out above, providing any more info may help out. If we can't ID it now, maybe you can check back in a couple of years...

I remember the mother plants having thin culms and being several feet high. They had a weeping look to them, and the leaves looked delicate. That probably doesn't help much. I wish I could have taken a picture of the grove. I went online and the mother plant looked similar to Moso but the culms were much thinner

Most bamboo have a mature height taller than several feet, so the mother plant may not have been mature. On the other hand, it could be one of the relatively fewer species that are short. What color were the culms of the mother plant, and was it planted in full sun, or shade, or what?

While moso do have the hairy characteristic you describe, juvenile moso typically have large leaves...much larger than are shown in your photo

The culms where a light green color. I think they were in a partially sunny area, because they were next to large trees.

Once it shoots next year, looking at the shoots may narrow down what your bamboo may be. If you remember the appearance of the mother grove, here are some of my bamboos for reference so if you can make a definite ID with any of mine, that could be it, but chances are you will need to let it get a little bigger and get a good view of a new rising shoot.

Here is a link that might be useful: some of my bamboos

Thanks Steve. I guess I'll have to remember to take photos of the new shoots next year. I looked through some photos online and I saw pictures of smaller size golden bamboo and one plant looked very similar to mine. I wonder if that is a possibility

I have some pictures of the new shoots that I found this morning. I don't know if these pictures will help
