How to Kill Bamboo Cane
- 1). Saw all of the canes to the ground.
- 2). Water the area well to get the bamboo rhizomes to grow new canes.
- 3). Cut any new shoots to the ground as soon as they appear, before leaves emerge, as this prevents the plant from making the food energy it needs for growth.
- 4). Repeat the cutting of new growth until the bamboo no longer appears above ground, indicating that the rhizomes underground have starved and will soon rot in the soil without regrowing.
- 5). Dig up any rhizomes left in the ground, if desired, to make sure that your kill is complete.
