Product DescriptionBamboo is becoming an increasingly popular plant in UK gardens as it is relatively easy to grow and can serve both as an ornamental and architectural plant and is a great screen or barrier. If you have a particularly spreading variety of bamboo and its covering more area than you initially planned. There are a couple of ways in which you can control Bamboo growth including pruning the rhizome and installing a rhizome root barrier. It is important to note that the growth of bamboo cannot be controlled at root-level by simply pruning the top-growth i.e. shoots, canes and leaves. It is important to restrict or control the growth of the rhizomes. This is more important with highly-invasive bamboos such as Pseudosasa, you can also use a rhizome control barrier with less invasive bamboos such as Phyllostachys where it can be used to control the total size to which the bamboo will grow. Bamboo Rhizome Root Barrier can also be used to control the shape and direction in which your bamboo will grow (for example, if you wanted to grow your bamboo to act as a hedge or screen in your garden). By laying root barrier you could alter the bamboo's growth pattern from a circular spread to growth along a line or fence. Our Rhizome barrier is 1.2mm thick which will withstand even the most invasive of bamboos, it is also completely UV stable. Rhizome root barrier is easy to install and can be used as an alternative or to compliment regular pruning.
