If it is coming into your garden below fence level, either you or they need to sink a strong barrier well below soil level to block it from doing that, I would have thought.


It is a different issue from overhanging branches (which yes, you can just cut off on your side) and I doubt a tree surgeon would be the right person to deal with it.


An experienced gardener might be able to help, or if you know someone who is a member of the RHS, ask them to contact the RHS for advice.


Or try googling?


ETA: When I say well below soil level, I mean the bottom of the barrier should be well below soil level. But I have no idea if the bamboo could still get through somehow.


Some types are extremely invasive and it's better to plant them in a buried container of some kind (and even then they can break out of the container!)
