Bamboo plant growing through my fence

Yup, according to the strict letter of the law, this is correct. Obviously, if one gets on with one's neighbours it doesn't come to this - more a case of a quick chat over the fence "Do you mind if I cut off the overhanging branches, and I'll stick them in my compost bin if you like". If relationships are less cordial then ... well, it would be unfortunate if you were spraying your weeds with any of the easily available glyphosate-based weedkillers, and you accidentally got some on the bamboo leaves ........

Funnily enough - the only two occasions where I've used/would ever use glyphosate were, respectively, (by sheer coincidence of course.....) when one neighbour had a leylandii tree and when another property had a plant base there that had to be either bamboo or Japanese Knotweed.

It was, of course, sheer coincidence that both things quite visibly died soon afterwards....

But if a neighbour has neither commonsense or any grasp of the consequences for themselves of such plants......

EDIT; I wouldnt have touched an ordinary plant though - just secateurs for something like a rambling rose...

It would take your neighbour to plant something like 'Kiftsgate' along your dividing fence, but then you'd understand and eat those words, season after season! :rotfl:

Crikey!

I've never seen anything quite like that:rotfl:
