Why running bamboo is a problem in Staines
On Staines properties, running bamboo running rhizome crosses boundaries, lifts patios and can enter cavity walls and drains — increasingly the subject of neighbour disputes. Staines-upon-Thames sits at the confluence of the Thames and the River Colne, and the disturbed towpaths, old reservoirs and gravel workings nearby have made the area especially prone to knotweed colonisation.
