Will bamboo off cuts sprout?

Question

I have been trying to kill bamboo by cutting the shoots and painting undiluted amitrole on the storks. My question is: If I leave the cut off bamboo shoots in another part of the garden to decompose, will they sprout and start to grow in that area? Thanks.

Answer 1

As long as your bamboo cuttings do not contain the rhizomes/roots you should be fine.
