Bamboo is very difficult to eradicate and will take multiple applications and sometimes years to fully eliminate. The 2 options for Dwarf Bamboo are manual removal or apply a non selective herbicide.
For Manual Treatment, remove the stalks with a handsaw before digging. Wet the soil around the base of the bamboo, use a shovel to dig around the base. Once you hit the rhizomes – start pulling the bamboo out making sure to remove all rhizomes to prevent regrowth.
For a Non Selective Herbicide Treatment, non selective herbicides such as Glyphosate and Imazypr can be effective in controlling bamboo, although multiple applications may be required, over 2 to 3 years. Bamboo should be cut and allowed to grow until about 3 feet tall and the new leaves expand. Eraser Max Super Concentrate contains both Glyphosate and Imazpyr should be applied to the entire plant surfaces until wet. Be sure you avoid any overspray during the application as this can injure or kill desirables if sprayed.
Glyphosate Plus Herbicide is labeled for partial control of Russian Olive and applied at 1.3 to 2.7 fl oz per gallon of water or at 2-5 qts/acre. For Russian Olive, the best time to apply is in late summer to early fall and for best results, apply as a full coverage spray to trunks, branches, limbs, leaves and foliage completely or cut the tree down to a stump for a stump treatment. Repeat applications may be needed to new shoots or new growth.

Glyphosate Plus Herbicide is a non selective herbicide that will kill turfgrass, annual and perennial weeds as well as woody brush and trees. Unless you are wanting to kill the turfgrass as a bareground treatment, we would recommend only spot spraying target weeds directly. Any bare spots can be reseeded after 2 weeks.
Please view the product label for mix rates and more information.
The area that Glyphosate Plus will cover depends on the rate you use, you can use anywhere from 0.7 oz to 13 oz per gallon of water. Since you only have 1,250 square feet, the 2.5 gallon jug of Glyphosate Plus will be more than enough.
Glyphosate Plus Herbicide can be used to kill Bamboo however we want to advise that bamboo is very difficult to eradicate and will require several applications.
Per the Cut Stump Section on page 30 of the product label, cut the bamboo or resprouts close to the soil surface and apply a 50 to 100 percent solution (6.5 fl oz to 13 fl oz per gallon of water) to the freshly cut surface immediately after cutting.
Glyphosate Plus Herbicide is is a wide range non-selective herbicide for weed management, and is effective against most annual and perennial broadleaf weeds and grasses. You can refer to the product label for use rates and application instructions.
Glyphosate Plus Herbicide can be used to freshly cut bamboo stumps at the highest rate of 13 fl oz per gallon of water per the product label. It is best to cut the bamboo level to the ground and repeat applications will be needed due to how deep the root system grows.
Glyphosate Plus Herbicide is not labeled for aquatic use. Aqua Star Herbicide contains 53.8% Glyphosate for excellent control of aquatic weeds and plants.
Glyphosate Plus Herbicide is applied at 10 qt to 25 gallons of water per acre. So for 7 acres, you will need 70 quarts or 7 jugs of Glyphosate Plus Herbicide.
Glyphosate Plus can kill anything that is sprayed directly as it is a non selective, generic version of RoundUp. You should avoid spraying ivy on the tree and instead pull the ivy off as much as possible to directly spot treat it. Or very very carefully brush the mixed solution onto the ivy only. You must avoid any contact with exposed roots and foliage of the tree itself
Glyphosate Plus does list knotweed as a target weed on the product label at a rate of 6 - 12 fl. oz. per acre. You will likely need to use the higher rate of concentration on this weed, as this is a very tough plant, and one application of herbicide will not kill Japanese knotweed, but will only weaken it.
No, Glphosate Plus can be applied to roundup ready corn as found on page 26 of the product label. Please be sure you read and follow the applications per the product label.
Glyphosate Plus is a non-selective that can be used near matured trees. You should avoid spraying the foliage/roots during application and the tree will not be harmed.
