    Chopping up with stump grinder just created more starts. You have to get out every piece. Now it's either mechanical removal (digging it out. 60 cm, that's crawl space) or repeated herbicide applications until there is no more sprouting. You can also douse the seedlings with boiling water. Sugar will not be effective in this case.

    Yes, once bamboo is established it will be considered a permanent resident! To destroy the roots, you will need a strong dose of glyphosate, or you can try the method that I prefer.

    Simply pour boiling water on the plant and roots two or three times per day, for a few days. This will take care of the roots. Just make sure to get the entire area, so that you can be sure the roots are, indeed, dead.

    This article will offer more methods that you should compound on top of this treatment for the best results: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/foliage/bamboo/kill-bamboo.htm

    Bamboo can be transplanted at any time there is NO new growth forming. When they are at a standstill, or semi-dormant state is best. Usually, this is Late Autumn or Early Spring.

    We do not provide vendor or product references, but if you're unable to find the plant in your area, you may want to search online for a companies that ship them. Be sure to use the term "plants" as one of your search words; many vendors sell seeds. Here's an article for you.
