Why running bamboo is a problem in Stroud
On Stroud properties, running bamboo running rhizome crosses boundaries, lifts patios and can enter cavity walls and drains — increasingly the subject of neighbour disputes. Stroud's steep valleys once powered woollen mills along the River Frome and the Stroudwater Canal, and the disturbed mill leats and old industrial terraces have left knotweed well established throughout the valley.
