Why running bamboo is a problem in Crowborough
On Crowborough properties, running bamboo running rhizome crosses boundaries, lifts patios and can enter cavity walls and drains — increasingly the subject of neighbour disputes. Crowborough's elevated position on the Ashdown Forest sandstone ridge means knotweed tends to concentrate around disturbed verges and the old railway cutting, as well as streams draining towards the River Medway headwaters.
