Why is UK in the Grip of an "Uncontrollable" Bamboo Crisis? | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Invasive bamboo is becoming a major problem for British homeowners, many of whom do not realise that most bamboo species are invasive if left unchecked. The plant is punching through paving stones, asphalt and even the foundations of homes in the UK. It is leaving homeowners with hefty bills and legal battles. Why does this problem keep on growing? How did it start? Palki Sharma tells you.

Very important! Bamboo with a 'flat' on alternate sides between nodes is a 'running bamboo', and sends out long runners that will spread widely. If the stems are round, it is a 'clumping bamboo', and will still expand its footprint, but much more slowly. Just remember: Round sticks around, flat runs flat out.

@TeaClipper1976 28 күн бұрын

4 years ago we bought a house with a garden. The previous owners had planted some bamboo. First we didn't notice but when the bamboo started to spread, we began to fight it. It's an extremely tough plant. The roots are growing horizontally which enables it to spread widely. Tried a few things but in consequence had to dig out the roots one by one...

You can buy 2 different types of bamboo. One is a type that sends off rhizomes (not tendrils) that spread quickly, invading everywhere. The other type is clump forming (this is the type I bought). They are much tamer, slower growing, and will not go digging through walls. So, lesson to all - if you want bamboo, research first. Buy a clump forming variety only. All it takes is a bit of looking up on the internet first. The clump forming bamboos I have are very well behaved, only marginally larger than the original plants I bought 6 years ago. Similarly, my neighbour has a plant that I reckon is about 30-35 years old, very well behaved, clump forming variety. No one is scared here.

What we also have in Hereford is the dreaded Japanese knotweed, which is an attractive plant but grows where it is not wanted and is very hard to get rid of. The remedy for bamboo is to import some pandas, if that results in a plague of pandas I dont think anybody would mind. I wouldn't say Japanese knotweed is a major problem in Hereford, but it is in some other cities. In some parts of the country there is also a problem with rhodedendrons which are also hard to get rid of. In some cities we have flocks of Indian Ringneck Parakeets, which are attractive birds well liked by the public but could become a pest.

Honestly, UK has "other" invasion problems, that of illegal "invasive aliens" like from Pakistan and the Khalistanis. This issue has also taken "deep roots". In fact if you replace the word Bamboo in this report with Pakistanis and this report will still hold true.

In order to prevent bamboo from running, one must bury a 3' deep, thick plastic barrier around the perimeter.

@jaaklucas1329 25 күн бұрын

I can say from decades experience that a barrier has to be thick and a couple feet deep. The bamboo will spread towards the suns heat not too deep initially. Any crack on your barrier will eventually be exploited!

NE Indians and neighbouring countries knows exactly how to own the bamboo plant I think, from eating tender shoots which helps to keep their population in control (not all bamboo shoots are eaten among my tribe) as use for particular species differs from making strong posts to crafting delicate household items. Otherwise the whole NE would have been engulfed by bamboos by now. Better to learn more before owning than regretting later😊

We have bamboo in our garden; I wouldn't call it a "crisis", but it does need to be chopped back to the roots every year or so otherwise it takes over. But this rings true for any other invasive plants like brambles, you just have to keep them under control.

What a crazy story, there maybe a few houses that have been affected, but despite being nearly 60 years old, I've not heard of this first hand from anyone here in the UK. The sterotypic racism at the end is very out of date. There is no one alive today who had anything to do with the colonial era that many European countries, unfortunately took part in - are we going to blame every country's current population for wrongs perpetrated in history, every country has something in it's past.

There's a reason Bamboo forests grow so fast, you can't keep them as decorative if you're planting them in soil where the roots can spread. Most people have them contained in large vessels for a reason.

@cherylmillard2067 26 күн бұрын

There are two types of bamboo, the running type and the clumping type. The running type where its rhizomes will pop up many meters from the parent plant, is the problem they're speaking about. Clumping bamboo can still spread that is why you need to install a deep barrier to contain it.
