I have 10 large plantings of Alphonse Karr bamboo. At the base they are around 6 feet in diameter and have outgrown the area. I see no way to remove at this point expect bringing in a medium size excavator, but if anyone has a better idea, I am sure ready to listen.

Cut, then cut regrowth and maybe cut a third time before spraying the resultant low tufts carefully with amitrole. That will work, might take a couple of sprays.

Happy Gardening

Too bad, Alphonse Karr has a lot of value in the boo world........Call Tropical bamboo in FL and see if Robert Saporito has any interest.
