Default cut down or glyphosphate?

Does glyphosphate work alright at this time of year?.

I have some bamboo shoots around the garden and I wish to terminate the
bamboo. Is it better to just cut down the shoots (they all have leaves
on) or to spray with the glyphosphate? Thanks for advice.

Dig it up and send it to me. Have you seen how much they charge for Bamboo
in the shops.



Thats what I thought a few years ago when one of mine made a bid for
freedom and started spreading rapidly, but they are incredible slow to re
establish in a pot and you need large bits to start with, I ended up
thinking they do not charge enough! Glad I do not do them :~)
