- We want to keep this Bamboo plant as it's quite a few years old and replant or transplant it somewhere else in the garden but bviously we don't want to damage the roots. This video gives you an idea of how to do it, if you have any thoughts or suggestions etc please share them with us.

Brilliant video. To the point with no annoying intros and music or side waffling. Wish all how-to videos were like this
thanks, we try and keep it like that too
Brilliant! Thank you 🙏
🤔I have this job on Friday but I won’t replant it just getting rid of it because it spreads like a wild fire really. Nice to see you doing it thank you
Thank You for sharing your video. It helped A LOT all the way in America! Cheers!
You're welcome!
Hugely helpful - thanks!
Thank you for the video. I planted Clumping Bamboo in my chicken area. It has gotten huge and I need to move it. I appreciate your information! Thank you!
Thank you and no problem at all, glad it helps
That you for the video it looks so easy :) Really happy to see such a small root - I thought they took over - I saw on another video that a lady used a drill (dry root I guess) to make several holes in a line and then the bamboo came apart and was divided - I think the trick is to quickly plant them and keep them wet.
Clumping bamboo isn’t too bad it’s runner bamboo which is a hassle as it goes everywhere
Great vid and too the point. Thank you
Thanks that will help me.
No problem, it was quite a job to get them out.

If I were to break the roots or bulb whatever you call it, into several bits are they likely to survive? I'd like to move one large plant and relocate into several smaller plants. If it's ok breaking it apart any tips on how to? I was thinking using a saw on the roots to split into about 6 different plants
Steve Forrester loads of water will help not come apart but perhaps leave it when we have warmer weather, the individual plants should grow just fine
Hi there...I've got a bambo about the same size.... do you recommend waiting till winter to dig it up and split it..? Or could I do it now (summer)?
The ground is softer this time of year.
@@DanielJohnHowTo thank you..👍
Great question, I have a similar dilemma. We planted clumping bamboo last October in a 2m wide by 50cm deep raised sleeper bed. It’s doing really well but as this is our only bedding area, we want to move it to use as screening and plant other stuff in the beds, to make the most of the small discs we have to plant.
I’m a bit worried about the other things- small heathers and grasses that are beside/in front of them as I don’t want to damage them during digging.
We plant to replant the ‘liberated’ bamboos in tall -65cm by 30 cm planters.
We have two large ones in planters that struggled over winter- too windy AND cold perhaps? But I moved them indoors and they seemed to recover.
We had to use a hacksaw to split some of the other bamboos in order to replant. They seem happy enough now even after that brutal treatment!
Thank you so much for the video, I’m so glad you managed it!! Thanks for sharing
How do you separate the clump?
pull it apart carefully, use a knife/spade to seperate
Challenge accepted
The root ball is not very big...
It's not, what's your point?
Looking at that it seems to be a running bamboo variety and not a clumping variety due to rhizome runners coming out of the clump.
Wild Ground HQ no that’s a clumping bamboo, those side shoots just make the clump larger....they don’t run for yards across the garden.
Yes, you are right that it is a running species of bamboo. Its name is phyllostachys aurea - clearly identifiable by its culms. This species is often sold as a 'clumper' in the UK because it will only start spreading under its ideal conditions which are unlikely to be met in the UK. Consistently hot summers, with plenty of water, sunshine and fertilisation, would allow this bamboo to flourish and spread rapidly. The specimen in this video is however sending out a couple of running rhizomes that can clearly be seen as you mentioned. This is evidence of its monopodial root system that belong to the running bamboo species. These running rhizomes can just be trimmed off as they attempt to jump over the root barrier and there would be no issues.
