UK Bamboo

Bamboo is actually a grass belonging to the grass family Poaceae, specifically the sub-family Bambusoideae.

First introduced to the UK in the early to mid 1800’s as a good looking ornamental plant it sports over 1400 different documented varieties.

Known for it’s sturdy and resilient nature it can quickly populate a garden or landscaped area and some varieties can even grow into forests.

Bamboo Problems

Although a good looking and sturdy plant bamboo has become quite invasive due to it’s running rhizomes or roots.

As mentioned there are over 1400 documented varieties of bamboo and it is the running varieties that generally cause the most problems.

These roots can spread far from the host plant and penetrate and populate neighbouring properties, causing damage and suffocating native plant species, causing problems for the local eco-system.

As there are so many different varieties of bamboo is it important to correctly identify the variety of bamboo present before any treatment and removal programme begins.

Treatment & Removal 

Options for treating and removing bamboo can vary depending on the exact nature of the infestation and spread.

Common bamboo removal methods can include :

Manual Bamboo Removal : Cutting or mowing of the visible portion above ground and pulling the roots by hand or with a shovel  / trowel etc.

Mechanical Excavation : For larger bamboo infestations, often in commercial settings.

Physical  Rhizome Barrier : Root barriers can be placed around the plant to keep the roots from spreading.

Chemical Treatments / Herbicides : Best applied when the plant is actively growing and will have to be done for a few years.

Ongoing Monitoring 

Care needs to be taken when removing bamboo as re-growth can occur if even the slightest bit of rhizome is left behind.
