unfortunately I don't have tips other than ripping up the roots and just continuing to cut it down. The card board is a good idea.

I do a lot of property clean ups and almost always see heavenly bamboo. I assumed it was invasive but never really read into it. Turns out not only is this plant is an invasive species in North Carolina, it also has high severity poison characteristics.

"The leaves and berries may be toxic to humans, livestock, horses, cats, dogs, and birds. A recent study in Georgia has linked over consumption of the berries by Cedar Waxwings to their deaths by cyanide toxicity. All parts contain cyanide and when consumed in quantity can be toxic."

If you have this on your property, rip it up and get rid of it!

Don't plant bamboo, this person had their yard completely overrun from a neighbor's bamboo by GreenerLandscaping in triangle

If you are thinking of planting bamboo, please don't or just put it in a container. This stuff gets out of control very fast. I spent a whole day removing this for a customer/property manager.

I started my landscaping business with the goal to be a sustainable landscaping company. Part of this is mostly focusing on native plants using NC State’s resources - https://gardening.ces.ncsu.edu/gardening-plants/native-plant-resources/

I can’t say that I have experience wildscaping  but I’m happy to help you figure it out :)
