Why running bamboo is a problem in Sheffield
On Sheffield properties, running bamboo running rhizome crosses boundaries, lifts patios and can enter cavity walls and drains — increasingly the subject of neighbour disputes. Sheffield's steelworks and cutlery mills along the River Don left extensive disturbed brownfield land where Japanese knotweed thrives, spreading along the Sheffield and Tinsley Canal and old railway embankments through the Lower Don Valley.
