    Bamboo 

    Bamboo is native to Asia, particularly India and China with reports of it being cultivated over 5,000 years ago.

    First introduced to the UK in the late 18th / early 19th century originally as a hothouse “tropical” plant it’s many varieties have now become popular throughout the British Isles as a sturdy, pleasant looking plant with the ability to grow extremely quickly.

    Now numbering nearly 1,500 in the types of varieties in the family, bamboo is extremely diverse so it is always important to identify the type of bamboo you have present before starting any treatment or removal programme.

    Problems With Bamboo

    The main problem that people experience with bamboo is it’s ability to quickly and invasively spread to surrounding areas and properties.

    It can quickly outcompete and suffocate local plant varieties and can create problems with neighbours, with legal action even having to be taken at times if the bamboo on your property is not kept under control.

    It’s incredibly tough root structure or rhizome network can spread aggressively and shoots can push up and appear through concrete foundations, drives, patios on your or neighbouring properties.

    There are two main types of bamboo with one generally more troublesome than the other :

    Clumping Bamboo is generally less problematic and invasive with easily visible clumps forming close to the plant.

    Running Bamboo is the more troublesome due to it’s strong and fast spreading “running” roots. Generally running bamboo is the type to infiltrate and overwhelm surrounding areas and cause you issues.

    Bamboo Removal 

    Similar to all invasive weed treatment and removal plans, methods for getting rid of bamboo vary depending on the size and spread of the infestation.

    The first step should always be to identify the type of bamboo present before deciding on any kind of treatment programme.

    Then removal methods can include :

    Manual or Mechanical Removal – Digging out the infested area and root structure with mechanical excavation used for bigger infestations.

    Physical Barrier – Rhizome barriers are installed vertically around the plant to ensure the root structure does not encroach and spread to surrounding areas or properties.

    Herbicides / Chemicals  – Bamboo can be treated chemically with herbicide, making sure to not treat any surrounding plants.

    Ongoing Monitoring

    With any bamboo treatment or removal it is of extreme importance to constantly monitor the infected area for any signs of regrowth once the initial bamboo removal has occured.

    New shoots can quickly sprout back up if even tiniest fragment of rhizome has been left behind in the soil.

    James from Clearsafe surveyed our clump forming Black Bamboo and recommended how to remove it effectively from our border. James then attended on an agreed date and removed the Bamboo. The only way you would know any work was completed in the garden is the Bamboo is not there. James is very professional and we would highly recommend him. Thank you James for your help, it is very much appreciated.

    Responded to my email query within 24 hours. James called to my property and explained clearly what needed to be done. Totally professional and helpful without wanting to charge me for work that didn't need doing. Excellent.

    Excellent service, highly recommend. I had a letter from a neighbour concerned there was a canopy of knotweed on our border coming from my side. I contacted Clearsafe after work looking to book an assessment and James kindly said he’d pop over that evening! James quickly confirmed it was not knotweed, was likely a fruiting vine and sure enough found some small fruits. He kindly went with my neighbour to assess the border from their side also and confirmed there was no knotweed. He explained the differences in the stem and leaves and what to look for. Incredible service, professional and friendly. It was incredibly stressful thinking there was knotweed but James was very kind, knowledgeable and reassuring. Highly recommend.

    We are in the middle of purchasing a property and it was brought up in the survey that JKW was likely to be present. We contacted several JKW specialists in the area. Clearsafe went above and beyond. In a matter of hours they had identified the plant and offered invaluable information, advice and support to help us progress with our sale as well as providing us with excellent quotations. I will not be hesitating to use or recommend this company in the future.

    We’re in the process of putting our house on the market and concerns were raised as to whether some weeds in the garden were knotweed. Contacted James who requested photos. He came back to me within an hour in between other jobs and was able to not only confirm it wasn’t knotweed but tell me exactly what the weeds were. Really appreciated his friendly but professional approach and quick responses. Would highly recommend.

    Had a bamboo patch in the garden out of control. Phoned up, sent a video of the area and within weeks it’s all been sorted. Credit to the lads, they were on time and put a shift in even when the sun was on full beam. Will definitely be recommending you to friends and family. Thanks again
