UK Bamboo
Obviously not a native of these shores, bamboo was first introduced from Asia in the 1800’s where it has been used for centuries in things as diverse as construction, clothing and food amongst its other many uses.
Introduced to the UK as an exotic ornamental garden plant it quickly gained popularity to due it’s resilience and ability to adapt and survive in this climate as well as it’s ability to quickly spread and populate any area it was introduced to.
Bamboo has been called the quickest growing plant on the planet capable of growing over 1 metre in 24 hours but it is actually a grass of the Poaceae family ( sub family Bambusoideae ) and is closer in relation to lawn grass, rice and corn although it does vary by it’s now over 1600 documented varieties.
Problems with Bamboo
With over 1600 different varieties of bamboo now documented they can still be generally divided into two distinct categories regards the nature of their spread and the problems they can create.
Running Bamboo
Generally running bamboo creates the most issues as it’s strong and sturdy rhizomes can aggressively run horizontally away from the host plant and exploit and push up through any weaknesses it finds in surrounding areas and properties. Pushing up through patios and walls, driveways and outhouses, even foundations and houses.
Clumping Bamboo
Clumping bamboo does not tend to create as many problems as its much shorter root network tends to turn up vertically and form above ground in easily identifiable clumps close to the original plant. These can easily be removed if necessary.
Treatment & Removal Methods for Bamboo
Bamboo treatment and removal methods can include :
Manual Removal -The bamboo plant and roots can be dug out manually.
Mechanical Excavation – Generally for larger commercial infestations.
Root Barriers – Physical barriers placed around the plants rhizomes so they cannot escape their boundaries.
Herbicides – Targeted chemical treatments can be used. Usually a course of treatment over a set period of time.
Ongoing Monitoring
Further observation of the infected area is crucial as re-growth can occur from the tiniest piece of rhizome that has been left in the soil.
