    The Use Code - Species Utilization Kyle Young

    Most of the uses are from published works such as A Compendium of Chinese Bamboo, American Bamboos, Bamboos of India, and Tropical Bamboo to name a few. Many uses were garnered during conversations with Peter Berg, Oscar Hidalgo, Ximena Londono, Bill and Athena Steen (The Straw Bale House), (to name a few) and campesinos in Mexico and Costa Rica. Some of the uses come from my own work with bamboo as a building material. The format and number of categories has been upgraded to make referencing specific uses easier. The list is primarily historical and newer uses, with some potential uses included in the agriculture and construction categories. Agriculture, other than edible shoots: A1 staking vegetables; Arundinaria spp., Apoclada simplex, Bambusa multiplex cvs., Guadua spp., Otatea spp., Phyllostachys spp., Pleioblastus spp. A2 farm tool handles; Otatea spp., Bambusa dissimulator, B. nutans, B. tuldoides, B. tulda.

    Information about the American Bamboo Society

    ABS Objectives The objectives and purposes of the Society are: 1. To provide a source of information on the identification, propagation, utilization, culture and appreciation of bamboos. To disseminate this information, the Society publishes a scientific Journal and a magazine. 2. To promote the utilization of a group of desirable species by development of stocks of plants for distribution to botanical gardens and introduction to the general public. 3. To preserve and increase the number of bamboo species in the United States. 4. To plant and maintain bamboo gardens to display the characteristic beauty of mature plants and to provide plant material for research in the taxonomy, propagation and culture of as large a number of species as possible. 5. To support bamboo research in the field and to establish whatever facilities are deemed necessary to carry out the research projects approved by the Directors. The American Bamboo Society (ABS) was formed in 1979 and became incorporated in the state of California in 1981. Today we have over 1400 members throughout the US and many other countries. Membership for individuals is $40 for the calendar year 2004 and includes membership in any one of the Chapters. ABS membership benefits include a subscription to the bimonthly magazine, BAMBOO, and the annual scientific Journal, BAMBOO SCIENCE & CULTURE. Back issues of the Journal are available from the ABS Bookstore, 3103 Eisenhauer Rd., L-21, San Antonio, TX 78209; (a table of contents is available by sending a SASE), or from Tradewinds Bamboo Nursery.

    Chapters ABS has 12 Chapters who sponsor lectures, conferences, tours, and plant sales in their areas, maintain bamboo libraries, and donate plants to public gardens. Although bamboo seed is quite rare, they distribute seed to members when it is available. Quarantine Greenhouses for newly imported bamboo species are operated by the Southern California, Northern California, Northeast, and Florida Caribbean Chapters, and by the University of Georgia and some others, under USDA permits. ABS has successfully established many species new to the US. Some of the chapters have copies of this list available for distribution. The following list gives the names of one or more contacts for each chapter, who can give information about bamboo, membership and activities, and accept chapter and national membership applications and dues.
