Bamboo History In The UK

Although commonly classified as a plant ( even the fastest growing plant on earth ) bamboo is actually a grass in the Bambusoideae subfamily of the evergreen grass family Poaceae (Gramineae) and was brought to the UK from Asia in the mid nineteenth century.

Good looking, resilient and able to establish itself in different climates bamboo thrived on these shores and quickly became a popular choice in gardens and landscapes alike.

With now over 1600 documented varieties it is incredibly diverse with some able to grow up to 3 feet in a day and create actual forests.

Problems and Issues With Bamboo

Although there are now over 1600 documented varieties of bamboo these can be broadly categorised into two distinct types :

Clumping Bamboo : These varieties are on the whole not an issue when it comes to problematic spread as their short rhizomes ( roots ) generally stay very close to the host plant. You will know if you have clumping bamboo as further spread will form close by in easy to identify clumps.

Running Bamboo : Generally the more troublesome varieties as their rhizomes can run quite far away from the original plant and invade surrounding areas and properties. Problems can then arise as these varieties are incredibly resilient and the roots can penetrate and exploit weaknesses in drives, patios, walls and foundations with further legal implications.

Bamboo Treatment & Removal Methods

Treatment and removal methods include :

Manual Removal  – The bamboo canes and roots can be manually removed.

Excavation – For larger often on-site commercial infestations.

Physical Barriers – Rhizome barriers can be placed around the roots to keep them in place.

Chemical / Herbicide Treatment – Can be used as a course of treatment.
