Untamed Bamboo

Question

We’ve inherited a mature garden which includes bamboo having been planted amongst trees and pollinator bushes. I don’t want to run the risk of chemicals (unless I have to) for fear of damaging the other shrubs and trees in close proximity.
What is the best way to eradicate the bamboo without damaging everything else?

Answer 1

Physical removal methods are the most effective with bamboo, especially digging it up by hand or mowing the small plants. These articles will give you advice on bamboo removal:
