Bamboo and Willow cut down and stumps removed - what now #880647

Asked August 08, 2024, 12:19 AM EDT

Hi, I was advised to have my willow and bamboo removed, which I did. The stumps were ground and now I'm left with lots of chips and questions as to what I should do next. Would you have any advice for me? Thank you, AG

Thank you for your question, Anita.  Here is an article with advise about using willow tree mulch:  https://extension.oregonstate.edu/ask-extension/featured/wood-chips-mulch

Here is an excellent article about bamboo, with ideas of how to use it:  https://extension.umd.edu/resource/containing-and-removing-bamboo/
Note that, unless the bamboo was removed completely, you may see new growth appearing long into the future, and may require you to try ever more intensive treatment.  Good luck!
