Bamboo In The UK

Mistakenly characterised as a plant bamboo is actually a grass from the subfamily Bambusoideae of the grass family Poaceae and was first introduced to the UK in the 1820’s as part of an exotic plant finding expedition to Asia.

It is capable of growing up to 48 inches in a day in peak conditions and can create actual forests ( mainly in Asia.)

Fossils of bamboo have been found from over 30 million years ago and it has been used in different cultures for centuries for things such as housing and buildings, food, furniture, clothes and textiles to name but a few of its uses.

It quickly gained popularity here as an exotic ornamental plant due to it’s hardy and resilient nature as well as it’s ability to spread quickly, populating gardens or landscaped areas and acting as a great screen and provider of privacy among other things.

Now with over 1600 documented varieties bamboo has spread throughout the world with different varieties being more suited to certain climates and the ones in the UK found to be particularly sturdy and robust.

Issues With Bamboo

Although bamboo has become a common and popular addition to gardens and landscapes throughout the UK problems have started to arise as it’s aggressive and quick spreading nature has seen it escape it’s boundaries and take root in the wild, surrounding areas and properties.

With over 1600 now documented varieties bamboo can still be broadly classified in two main types :

Running Bamboo

Running varieties of bamboo can run far from the original plant as the name would imply. Their roots can penetrate and invade surrounding areas and properties and cause damage to things such as walls, drives, patios, even foundations and houses with all the corresponding legal issues that would bring.

Clumping Bamboo.

Clumping bamboo does not tend to be as problematic as it’s short root network tends to turn upwards vertically and create small clumps close to the host plant that are easily seen and can be removed.

Bamboo Treatment & Removal Methods

Treatment and removal methods include :

Manual Removal  – Of roots and plant.

Mechanical Excavation – Normally for larger industrial and commercial sites.

Rhizome Barriers  – Physical barriers can be inserted around the rhizomes ( roots ) to keep them from spreading.

Herbicides / Chemical Treatments – Safely and effectively applied.

*Ongoing monitoring of the area where the infestation was / is crucial to ensure no re-growth occurs.*
