Bamboo can be an invasive nuisance..Don’t get caught out

As one of the fastest and most aggressive growers in the plant world, experts have issued many warnings about bamboo - especially after one Hampshire house was left with £100K worth of bamboo damage.

But while bamboo has the potential to spread across your whole garden and into your home, that doesn’t mean that you have to get rid of it completely. That’s why we’ve asked experts for their top tips on how to stop bamboo from spreading.

How to Stop Bamboo From Spreading

‘Bamboo is one of the most beautiful, tolerant and low maintenance foliage plants which has real presence and deserves a place in any garden,’ explains Pim Dickson, horticulturist expert at Mr Fothergill's. ‘It does, however, have a reputation for being invasive, which is not the plants’ fault but rather a symptom of the wrong variety being chosen for the location.’ So, this is everything you need to know about stopping invasive bamboo in its tracks.

Understand the different types

While you might assume that bamboo is a one-size-fits-all plant, that’s not true. Instead, bamboo varieties are typically split into two categories; ‘clumping’ varieties and ‘running’ varieties.’

Pim adds, ‘Clump forming’ bamboos, like many of the hardy Fargesia species, spread only a few inches a year and are therefore easy to keep in check. They require no more effort than any other happy border perennial that wants to grow.’

In fact, you may be able to get away with simply cutting back your clumping bamboo to stop it from spreading.
