What will kill the bamboo growing through my drive?


Our Advice:

Cut down the shoots and treat the new growths when they are about 15 cms high. Use either Path and Drive Weedkiller from Bayer or Resolva Xtra Tough Weedkiller from Westland. With both products, more than one application may be needed to kill the bamboo. Take care not to accidentally treat areas where plants are growing.
