About Bamboo

Actually a giant grass in the subfamily Bambusoideae of the grass family Poaceae, bamboo is an incredibly hardy and sturdy plant that has grown very popular as a good looking, ornamental addition to all kinds of garden and landscaped settings.

It’s fast growing and spreading nature and it’s over 1,400 varieties mean it can quickly and easily fill out any space.

Originally imported from China, India and Japan amongst others it has rapidly become popular throughout the UK and indeed worldwide.

Issues With Bamboo

The world’s fastest growing land plant, problems tend to arise with bamboo exactly because of it’s incredibly quick but also aggressive and invasive nature.

Depending on the type of bamboo, hard surfaces nearby can be at risk, even stone and brickwork if the bamboo spreads uncontrollably beyond it’s intended barriers.

Bamboo has an incredibly strong root structure, and not unlike Japanese Knotweed it’s rhizomes can quickly overtake and out compete plants from the local eco system.

It can become a legal issue if your bamboo infiltrates surrounding gardens so it is always best to get the problem treated early rather than enabling the spread to continue.

Bamboo Treatment & Removal 

There are different bamboo treatment methods available depending on the type of the bamboo and the severity of the spread and infestation.

The most important thing to remember is that bamboo can re-grow quickly if even the tiniest fragment of rhizome ( root ) is left behind so it is vital to ensure a thorough and complete treatment.

Even when it seems that all the canes and foliage have been removed it is the underground rhizome network that needs to be thoroughly removed and this often extends beyond the visible plant.

Common Bamboo Treatment and Removal Methods Include :

Manual Cutting & Pruning Of the Canes

Manual or Mechanical Digging Out/Excavation Of the Roots 

Physical / Rhizome Barriers

Herbicides & Chemical Treatments

Further Monitoring

Further monitoring of the area that the bamboo has been removed from is crucial because of the sturdy and durable nature of the roots and the ability to re grow from even the smallest left over fragment. If it seems that the bamboo is beginning to regrow, further treatment and removal will be necessary.
