Bamboo in the UK

Native to Asia, Africa and the Americas bamboo is actually a grass in the Poaceae family, sub-family Bambusoideae.

First introduced to the UK in the nineteenth century it is an incredibly quick spreading and growing plant that has been called the fastest growing plant in the world ( although again technically a grass.)

It became popular throughout the UK due to it’s hardy and sturdy nature and it’s ability to quickly populate any environment and provide privacy as well as being a good looking addition to it’s surroundings.

With now over 1600 different documented varieties, some which can grow into actual forests, bamboo has spread globally and can be found throughout the planet.

Problems and Issues with Bamboo

Bamboo is not only a quick grower, it is a quick spreader and it can aggressively encroach into surrounding areas and properties as it escapes its boundaries.

It has a very strong root structure ( rhizome network ) and the “running” varieties of bamboo can run far from the host plant and push up through and exploit any weaknesses in nearby tarmac and concrete. It can penetrate drives, walls, patios, even foundations and can cause untold damage and possible legal issues if not kept in check within it’s designated boundaries.

Bamboo Treatment and Removal

Common treatment and removal methods include :

Manual Removal – Cutting and pruning of the above ground canes and digging out the roots.

Excavation  – Generally for larger and commercial infestations, mechanical excavation is often used.

Physical / Rhizome Barriers – Placed around the rhizomes to keep them in place.

Herbicides  / Chemical Treatments – With safe and controlled application.

Ongoing monitoring and observation of the treated area is vital to ensure no rhizome fragments have been left behind and as re-growth can occur if the slightest fragment is left behind.
