This short paragraph quoted from "A Yankee on the Yangtze" by William Edgar Geil portrays the many uses for bamboo.
"A man can sit in a bamboo house under a bamboo roof, on a bamboo chair at a bamboo table, with a bamboo hat on his head and bamboo sandals on his feet. He can at the same time hold in one hand a bamboo bowl, in the other hand bamboo chopsticks and eat bamboo sprouts. When through with his meal, which has been cooked over a bamboo fire, the table may be washed with a bamboo cloth, and he can fan himself with a bamboo fan, take a siesta on a bamboo bed, lying on a bamboo mat with his head resting on a bamboo pillow. His child might be lying in a bamboo cradle, playing with a bamboo toy. On rising he would smoke a bamboo pipe and taking a bamboo pen, write on bamboo paper, or carry his articles in bamboo baskets suspended from a bamboo pole, with a bamboo umbrella over his head. He might then take a walk over a bamboo suspension bridge, drink water from a bamboo ladle, and scrape himself with a bamboo scraper."

Hi Lemon,
Do an Internet search for bamboo. You will be surprised by how many results you will get. To know what area you are in for both cold and heat zones, you will have to ask someone here for that by including your city. Or you can call a near-by nursery for that information. Next, go to the sites you found on the Internet to buy bamboo that will work in your zone.

why would you want to buy bamboo? It's such a quick spreading weed and it's impossible to get rid of!
