I've used roundup and guess what... It came back...
It killed that years growth, but in 2 years a nice, expanding patch was
back. For some reason bamboo doesn't react as well as most plants to
Roundup. Note: Roundup is safe for the environment, just keep your pets away
when it is wet, as soon as it dries off it's pretty safe.
