New Method Develops For Bamboo Control In Gardens
Rhode Island extension notes describe a new weed control method using triphenylbenzoic acids known as TCB or HC-1281 to combat bamboo with applications at flowering peak late August to mid September. The guidance warns of deep rhizomes eight feet long and advises 2 to 22 ounces per gallon sprayed to foliage with care to avoid other plants. It also covers insect, aphid, and disease notes on shade trees and perennials plus tips on garden maintenance and summer planting.
