A national trade body is asking Romford residents to select and plant “certain types of bamboo carefully” to prevent further spreading of invasive types.
The Property Care Association (PCA) will be holding a free webinar on Thursday, May 27 at 9am to 10am on “how invasive weeds can impact the urban environment”.
Dr Peter Fitzsimons, technical manager for the PCA’s invasive weed control group, said some bamboo plants are “aggressive spreaders” that once planted can be difficult to control.
This can lead to bamboo in areas it was never planted in and can be hard to manage, which can lead to property damage.
