Bamboo In The UK

Bamboo has been used in different cultures, primarily in Asia for centuries and was first introduced to the UK as an exotic species after a plant hunting expedition in the 19th century.

It quickly gained popularity due to it’s sturdy and resilient nature as well as it’s ability to quickly spread and populate a garden or landscaped area.

One of the quickest growing plants on the planet ( although it is actually a grass ) some species of bamboo can grow up to 1 meter in a day and there are now over 1600 documented varieties.

Bamboo Problems

Although there are now over 1600 different documented varieties of bamboo regards their spread they can generally be divided into two broad categories.

Running and Clumping Bamboo.

The main problems tend to come from the more aggressive spreading running bamboo whose roots can run far from the original plant and invade surrounding areas.

If adjacent to a neighbouring property the rhizomes can push up through any weaknesses in foundations, drives, walls or patios causing damage and potential legal issues.

Clumping bamboo does not tend to be as troublesome with it’s short rhizome network that turns upwards to form a clump instead of running. These don’t tend to spread too far from the host plant.

Bamboo Treatment & Removal Methods

Treatment and removal methods for bamboo can include :

Manual Removal  – Physically digging out the bamboo and it’s roots, either by hand or with a trowel / shovel.

Mechanical Excavation – For larger excavation mechanical excavators can be used.

Rhizome Barriers  – Barriers are placed around the rhizome to keep it within its boundaries and ensure no further spread occurs.

Herbicides – Targeted chemical herbicide treatments can be sprayed on the plant.

Ongoing Observation

If even the smallest piece of the rhizome is left behind in the soil new growth can quickly occur so ongoing monitoring is important.
