Maui Ocean Center - Bambusa Vulgaris Vittata

Saw an interesting variety recently on a trip to Maui.  Thanks to Steve L. for identifying it as Bambusa Vulgaris Vittata ("Golden Painted Hawaiian Bamboo"):

I originally thought it might be P. Vivax Huangwenzhu Inversa given the unique coloration of the culms.

I do know that this is one variety that will not tolerate zone 5, 6, or likely even 7. Those few Canadians in a solid zone 8 might have a fair shot with this variety, though it would still likely require some winter protection.  This basically means residents of the lower-lying coastal regions of Greater Vancouver and the lower-lying, southern part of Vancouver Island (and most of the little islands in between).
