It doesn't matter how beautiful it is...
Gotta get information for eradicating bamboo. It is an invasive plant and is actually terrible for Maryland ecosystem. Our next door neighbor, before we moved in, received bamboo in a pot which she put outside. "Something" happened and it got out of the pot. Now we've inherited the problem; it's spread, is spreading and will continue to spread. Several thickets and most of the culms are over 15' as it is!

BAMBOOS - many species and genera.
What is growing and RUNNING is either genus Phyllostachys or Bambusa; the more "destructive" types. Many bamboos send runners great distances, under pavement and edging. Once established, they form impenetrable thickets that are almost impossible to eradicate. PLANT BAMBOOS ONLY IN CONTAINERS, NEVER IN OPEN SOIL. PREVENT FROM SPREADING OUT DRAINAGE HOLES.

~PULL seedlings and small or shallow-rooted plants when soil is moist. DIG out larger plants, including the root systems. Use a spading fork or weed wrench for trees or shrubs.
~CUT DOWN, and PAINT THE CUT STEM OR STUMP WITH GLYPHOSATE (or triclopyr if specified above). Follow label directions for Cut Stump Application. Clip off re-growth or paint with glyphosate. See Note on Herbicides.
~PAINT foliage with GLYPHOSATE herbicide (see Note on Herbicides). Use an envelope dauber (small sponge-topped bottle), following label directions for "wiper" method. Add a drop of food color for visibility. Or use a foam spray. Avoid dripping on non-target plants, because glyphosate kills most plants except moss. If it rolls off waxy or grass-like foliage, use additional sticker-spreader. Deciduous trees, shrubs, and perennials move nutrients down to the roots in late summer. Glyphosate is particularly effective at this time and when flowering plants are in bloom. Several invasive exotics retain their foliage after native plants have lost theirs, and resume growth earlier in spring than most natives. This allows you to treat them without harming the natives. However, the plant must be growing for the herbicide to work, and more may be needed in cold weather because growth is slower.
