Why running bamboo is a problem in Rochdale
On Rochdale properties, running bamboo running rhizome crosses boundaries, lifts patios and can enter cavity walls and drains — increasingly the subject of neighbour disputes. Rochdale's woollen mill legacy and the Rochdale Canal towpath, along with the River Roch's disturbed banks, provide a corridor along which knotweed has spread into the town's hillside parks.
