Why running bamboo is a problem in Brentwood
On Brentwood properties, running bamboo running rhizome crosses boundaries, lifts patios and can enter cavity walls and drains — increasingly the subject of neighbour disputes. Brentwood sits on the historic London to Colchester turnpike, and knotweed has established along the Wid Valley and old railway embankments, spreading further through the wooded grounds of Weald Country Park.
