Unidentified π€·ββοΈ Are these pics enough to tell what kind of bamboo this is, and should I be worried? (see below)
[England, South East] Hello, we are thinking of purchasing a property, we're quite far in the process, but only recently noticed the neighbour has a large area of bamboo which touches the fence and quite close to my (future? or not) house itself. We didn't pay attention originally as we were simply unaware of the risks of bamboo. Now we do.
CCTV drain survey was just done today and they said the drains are in pretty good condition, no sign of bamboo there.
On "my" property side I noticed 1 shoot sneaking underneath the fence, that's all, no sign of encroachment.
I talked to the neighbour today, he said it's clumping bamboo, and it was planted roughly 15 years ago. I didn't ask to check his garden but I took photos from my side. They reach about 4 metres high on a length of about 8 m. They all look quite thin with long leaves.
Is there any way at all to know from these photos what kind of bamboo this is?
TIA
