As bamboo is not listed as an invasive species under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, you are free to plant it as you wish. However, you should plant bamboo with caution, using a root barrier, or placing it in a pot.
In recent years, encroachment cases of plants coming over boundary lines have increased in small claims courts. Therefore, whilst you can plant bamboo, it’s best to really consider how you plant it to ensure you don’t end up with a boundary dispute.
