Bambusa chungii

Bambusa chungii, commonly known as the White Bamboo or the Tropical Blue Bamboo, is a large, tall bamboo species, often found in Hong Kong, and originating in China. It's blue-green or white culms often reach a height of 10 meters.

The bamboo grove of this species often spreads to 3 metres when mature, sometimes spreading to 5 meters, often growing in company of trees in a humid, half-sunlight environment. Culms which can grow to a maximum height of 20 meters or less are covered in naturally occurring white powder, which are used to waterproof the plant. 

Tolerates wind, rain, dry (with irrigation) and remains beautiful. An outstanding choice to solve those pesky neighbor abatement issues quickly, as it isn't invasive.
