Why running bamboo is a problem in Bournemouth
On Bournemouth properties, running bamboo running rhizome crosses boundaries, lifts patios and can enter cavity walls and drains — increasingly the subject of neighbour disputes. Bournemouth's Victorian pleasure gardens along the Bourne Stream valley, known as the Chines, have provided sheltered disturbed ground where knotweed has spread extensively through the town's wooded ravines.
