Why running bamboo is a problem in Bicester
On Bicester properties, running bamboo running rhizome crosses boundaries, lifts patios and can enter cavity walls and drains — increasingly the subject of neighbour disputes. Bicester's growth around former RAF land and the Bicester to Oxford railway line has left disturbed ground where knotweed readily establishes, with further infestations tracked along the Langford Brook that threads through the town.
