Bamboo In The UK

First imported into the UK in the nineteenth century by plant hunters that were scouring the globe for new and exotic species, Bamboo quickly become a popular addition to countless gardens and landscapes.

Durable, resilient and quick and densely growing it became a common choice for many due to it’s good looks and it’s ability to add additional privacy.

Actually a grass in the Bambusoideae subfamily of the evergreen grass family Poaceae (Gramineae) their are over 1400 varieties of bamboo documented with some able to grow up to 3 feet in a day and create actual forests.

Problems With Bamboo

The main problems with bamboo come from the more aggressive spreading running bamboo.

The roots can quickly run and penetrate beyond the plants boundaries into neighbouring properties where it can push up through cracks in walls, floors or drains.

The rhizomes ( roots ) are very strong and resilient and are always looking to spread and colonise new areas.

Although there are over 1400 documented varieties of bamboo most can generally be divided into two main categories so it is important to identify the type of bamboo you have present before any treatment :

Clumping Bamboo : Generally the less problematic as it’s short roots tend to not stray too far from the host, forming close by into easily recognisable clumps.

Running Bamboo : Can cause problems due to it’s running roots that can spread far from the original plant and penetrate surrounding areas and properties.

Bamboo Treatment & Removal 

Bamboo treatment and removal methods can include :

Manual Removal Of The Bamboo – Physically digging out the bamboo and it’s roots.

Mechanical Excavation – For larger bamboo infestations.

Rhizome Barrier Installation – Physical barriers are placed around the roots to ensure no further spread.

Chemical Treatment – Targeted Herbicide treatments can be used.

Further Observation

Bamboo can re-grow and take root if even the tiniest piece of rhizome ( root ) is left behind in the soil upon removal so it is vital to monitor the treated area moving forward to ensure there is no regrowth.
