Bamboo 

An incredibly strong, resilient and fast spreading plant, not many people know that bamboo is actually a grass in the Poaceae family that was first imported as an ornamental plant to the UK in the 1800’s.

It quickly grew in popularity due to it’s hardy nature and ability to quickly populate any environment it was introduced into from smaller gardens to large landscapes.

A native of Asia there are actually over 1,400 different varieties of bamboo which can grow and spread in different ways so it is always important to firstly identify the exact type of bamboo you have present on your property.

Bamboo Problems and Issues

Called “the fastest growing plant in the world” and “the next Japanese Knotweed” problems with bamboo tend to arise because of the plants sturdy, resilient and fast spreading nature.

Bamboo can spread incredibly aggressively beyond it’s intended boundaries and shoots can sprout up and push through concrete foundations, driveways and patios, including those belonging to neighbouring properties.

Bamboo has a very strong rhizome network ( root structure ) and certain types of bamboo particularly the “running” varieties can be very invasive to surrounding areas and properties.

Removing Bamboo

The best type of treatment removal method will normally depend on the variety of bamboo present and the nature and severity of the infestation.

It is important to note that when it comes to bamboo treatment and removal the job must be conducted incredibly thoroughly as re-growth can occur from the slightest fragment of rhizome if left behind in the soil.

Some Of The Most Common Bamboo Treatment and Removal Methods Include :

Manual Cutting & Pruning – this is generally for the above ground and visible canes which will not remove the root structure beneath the soil.

Manual or Mechanical Digging Out/Excavation Of the Roots – depending on the size and severity of the infected area. Manual removal may be possible for smaller infestations with mechanical excavation needed for larger spreads.

Physical / Rhizome Barriers – inserted around the roots to prevent them spreading.

Herbicides  / Chemical Treatments – can be effective in treating and controlling bamboo. Generally multiple treatments will be applied over a few years.

Further Monitoring Of the Infected Area.

Again, ongoing monitor of the treated area is vital to ensure no rhizome fragments have been left behind and no re-growth is occuring.
