Oh, I used to live near there, in Roehampton. Good that it has friends, not so good about the rhododendrons. A neighbour has bamboo and it is taking over, I expect it to get to the back door by next year.
I had a patch of bamboo that needed stopping. Best method seems to be cut it off at the bottom, keep snapping off new shoots. Make it wet a lot! Really soak water into the area
. I think the roots eventually rot.
Bamboo doesn't like water? I didn't know that. I'd like to transplant some of it into pots, either to sell or for acreening. It's horribly expensive to buy and I do like it to look at, it's just so invasive. I have a young friend who helps me in the garden, I think tackling this is going to be our next job. Thanks for the tips!

The roots are tough and tangled. You need a sharp spade or axe handy!
