Bamboo Running Rhizome Removal

Bamboo Running Rhizome Removal.

Running rhizomes are one of the most common bamboo problems that we encounter.

Homeowners suddenly find that their garden is being taken over by underground invaders, sending up new bamboo shoots seemingly at will, often many metres from the main bamboo plant.

By the time that it is clear there is a problem, the situation is quite advanced and swift action is needed.

Do you recognise this situation ?

Bamboo has a huge ability to expand out of sight underground.

It is not just running varieties of bamboo that produce running rhizomes, clumping bamboo does too.
Clumping bamboo that has remained fairly static in size for many years, with the clump gradually growing can suddenly change.

When it reaches maturity and conditions are right it can produce running rhizomes exactly the same as running varieties.

We regularly see rhizomes that have spread ten metres from the main bamboo plant, it is certainly not uncommon for the distance to be even greater.

Often the problem with running rhizomes lies in the fact that homeowners are not expecting the expansion, or even worse, the fact that they completely believe that they can’t expand in such a way, but trust us, they do.

One of the worst situations is when running rhizomes encroach into a neighbouring property, this is when matters become very serious very quickly.
Bamboo encroachment is covered under “Nuisance” legislation.
Not only are you liable for the removal costs but also the costs of any damage that it causes. This include replacement or making good of any vegetation or hard landscaping such as plants, paths, patios etc that have to be replaced or repaired.
Costs can mount up very quickly indeed.

Running bamboo rhizomes can be very problematic to remove, simply due to the area that can be affected.
Removing these rhizomes can include
excavating large areas either with excavators, or by hand.
Obviously this level of work makes running Bamboo Removal Costs considerable.

We always urge homeowners to be very aware of any bamboo in their garden, to be absolutely sure that the bamboo is not spreading.
The cost of making a mistake and having a bamboo running rhizome problem can be significant, certainly something to be avoided.
