About Bamboo

Bamboo has long been known as a popular addition to gardens and landscapes due it’s hardy nature, fast growth and versatility. An elegant and decorative plant, it is used in a variety of ornamental settings and it’s distinctive canes and foliage come in a variety of sizes to fit any area.

Problems With Bamboo

While often planted in good faith and the best of intentions, problems start to arise because of the the incredibly fast growing nature of bamboo and it’s invasive nature. Some species of bamboo have been known to grow up to the three feet in a single day and much like Japanese Knotweed the hardy roots ( rhizomes ) of some species can quickly spread beyond their boundaries.

Again like knotweed, bamboo is an incredibly aggressive spreading plant and can quickly infiltrate surrounding properties, paving stones and even concrete structures.

It can also dominate local eco-systems, out competing and displacing local plants and it can even pose a threat to local wildlife, if it’s growth remains unchecked and it encroaches upon natural habitats.

Bamboo Removal 

Removing bamboo can be quite a consuming task depending on the size and severity of the infestation and spread.

It’s resilient rhizome network and ability to regenerate from even the tiniest root fragments that may have been missed and left over in the soil can make bamboo removal a pain-staking task that requires constant monitoring and vigilance.

There are a few different methods and options for bamboo removal again depending on the size and severity of the problem.

These include :

Manual Cutting and Pruning

Mechanical Digging Out/Excavation

Physical Barrier Installation

Chemical Control / Herbicides

Further Monitoring

It is vitally important to monitor the area of the bamboo infestation, even if the problem looks to have been solved. Again, even the smallest fragment of rhizome left in the soil can reshoot and start the process over again. Monitoring for any signs of the emergence of new shoots is key to ensuring the bamboo does not return.

At Clearsafe Knotweed we offer exactly that. It is also important to note that it is always best to employ the services of a  provider experienced in bamboo removal rather than just a generic gardening or landscaping company as you may end up receiving a generic treatment that is not tailored specifically to bamboo.

This can often cause additional problems in the future as the root cause of the problem has not been properly addressed.
