Why I don't like Bamboo..

Abnshrek · 05-08-2014, 12:34 PM

These Runners are a good 12' from the bunch.. I hope Glysophate works on this stuff.. :^)

Is there an easier solution? :^)

Only have a minute - what bamboo people do is dig a foot deep trench all the way around the clump - apparently when the stolons hit an air gap they stop, unlike most things that would go up or down.
Glyphosate - yes, I have had fair luck with chopping down the offending shoot and dripping straight stuff on the remains. Good luck.

catch them earlier and eat them"bamboo shoots"..or feed them to the deer to keep them off the nanners

Grow clumpers instead of runners.

I have a problem with some bamboo that a neighbor planted that has invaded my property and that of another neighbor. I have other issues to deal with and will maybe next return to eradicating that bamboo in the fall. Currently I am cutting it down when ever I see it.
Hydroid graciously gave me some clumping bamboo which I have planted. It survived last winter and but is not growing rapidly.

Hi Carl,

The clumpers take a little time to start sending up a lot of culms but they will. Mine are starting to grow some. In a few years they will look like Arachnotron's.
