We had some Golden Bamboo in a pot and the second year a dirty great shoot shot up 7 feet easy.

we bought mature plants (shown above) to screen off W3.5m x H2m - cost us about 300£ (70£ plants down to 60£). planted in aug/sept 2020, and the first new shoots started coming through end-march and are already 30cm high. I think the shoots/culms grow to full height in one season maybe
not sure how long it will take to establish a hedge using the weedier plants we bought recently in a bundle
