another question about bamboo containment...
I know of a local grove of large bamboo - not sure of the type. They
contain it by mowing only. I was under the impression that it would still run and eventually reach areas that were not mowed or just keep spreading underground despite the mowing. Is this correct or not? |

I was under the impression that it would still run and eventually reach areas that were not mowed or just keep spreading underground despite the mowing. Is this correct or not? Mowing should be able to contain the bamboo if the mowing is done regularly and the area mowed is wider than the width the bamboo can spread in a year. A long section of rhizome that has no culms will wither and die eventually, even if it is attached to the mother plant. This is because without photosynthesis it will not be storing any energy.
