Bamboo vs. Blackberry

20 years ago

Hi All,

A couple years ago my parents bought a somewhat neglected 6 acre hobby farm a few minutes outside of Medford OR. For the past couple years they have been waging war on the blackberry and poison oak vines that had overrun much of the property. I think bamboo would be a great addition to the property (asthetically and for slope stabilization), however if a patch of ground is not frequently mowed it tends to quickly revert to blackberries. My question to the forum is how well does bamboo hold up against invasive species? Does a grove (i.e. timber bamboo such as P. vivax) need to be "weeded" once established?

Thanks.
