Bamboo in the UK

Bamboo was initially introduced to the UK by the Victorians, notably to Kew Gardens in London in 1826.

Although actually a grass bamboo is often called the fastest growing plant in the world with some species able to grow up to 35 inches per day and is native to East and Southeast Asia.

With over 1600 now documented varieties, bamboo is incredibly diverse so it is always important to correctly identify the type of bamboo that is present before any kind of treatment can begin.

Problems with Bamboo 

The main problem arises with bamboo due to it’s ability to spread quickly and aggressively via it’s underground rhizomes, often outside it’s initial boundaries and onto surrounding properties causing potential legal issues with neighbours.

It’s strong and sturdy roots can push up and exploit any cracks in nearby walls, brick, concrete, drives and patios. It can even penetrate foundations and buildings causing costly repairs.

With over 1600 now documented varieties there are still two main categories that these fall into when it comes to the spread.

Clumping Bamboo – Tend to form in easily visible clumps close to the original plant.

Running Bamboo –  Can run aggressively far from the host plant into surrounding areas and tend to be the more problematic type of bamboo.

Treatment & Removal Methods

May vary depending on the size, spread and type of bamboo but can typically include :

Manual Removal 

Mechanical Bamboo Excavation 

Physical  Rhizome Barriers 

Chemical / Herbicide Treatments 

Ongoing Monitoring 

Bamboo can re grow from even the slightest root fragment that his been left in the ground so it is crucial to monitor the treated area for any signs of re-growth.
