History of Bamboo in the UK

Native to Asia and also countries in South America bamboo first found it’s way to these shores in the nineteenth century when different types of species of plant were being brought back from voyages to places like China and Japan amongst others.

Interestingly, bamboo is actually categorised as a grass and belonging to the sub-family Bambusoideae of the grass family Poaceae.

One of the most popular ornamental plants in the UK bamboo became highly sought after because of it’s elegant stalks and good looks and it’s ability to quickly populate a garden or landscape and also provide great privacy.

It is extremely robust and resilient and it’s different varieties can survive in all different kinds of climates and environments with now over 1600 documented varieties worldwide.

Issues with Bamboo

Although bamboo has gained great popularity in gardens and landscapes throughout the UK legal problems surrounding it are increasing especially with regards to encroachment into neighbouring properties with homeowners even being discouraged from planting it.

Known as the quickest growing plant on earth ( although as we’ve said it’s actually a grass ) bamboo can sometimes grow up to 1 metre per day and create actual bamboo forests depending on the particular variety and it is this quick and sturdy growth that accounts for many of the issues with it.

As it is not only the visible plant that grows quickly, the underground root or rhizome network is also a very aggressive spreader with it’s strong and sturdy roots capable of penetrating surrounding areas far from the host plant.

These rhizomes can then exploit any weaknesses they find in concrete and create all kinds of damage to patios, drives and even the property itself.

Bamboo can also cause problems for the native eco-system by out competing local species and reducing bio-diversity.

Bamboo Treatment & Removal 

Treatment and removal methods for bamboo can include :

Cutting down the bamboo canes and plant by hand and digging out the roots.

For larger infestations mechanical excavations can be employed.

Physical root / rhizome barriers can be placed deep into the ground surrounding the roots to ensure no spread.

Chemical treatments / Herbicides can be used ensuring no spread onto surrounding vegetation.

Ongoing observation of the treated area is also vital to monitor for any re-growth.
