This will be. 2-3 person job but WILL work. I got rid of a 20 foot stand of bamboo in my own yard using this process. First, the first person will cut 1 bamboo shoot to around 3 inches tall. The second person has no more than 10 seconds to coat the open cut area of the bamboo stump with RoundUp using a flat paintbrush. After 10 seconds the plant will seal itself and the RoundUp won't work. Work your way through the patch one shoot at a time. Over the next few weeks the plant will continue to try to send up new (weakened) shoots. Do the same thing. It may take a month or more of repeating this process, but you WILL kill off the bamboo and it will not return. hope this helped!Helpful Reply -
