HiI have some well established bamboo growing in my garden

United Kingdom

Hi
I have some well established bamboo growing in my garden. It's Been in over 1 year. Recently some new shoots have appeared. They are well rooted. They don't seem related to the bamboo or surrounding plants. Could somebody help me identify this plant or weed? And if it is anything to worry about.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe some kind of honeysuckle?

If it winds up in your hand roots and all, it's nothing to worry about.

But if the first piece appears to have broken off below ground, and to have joints underground like the above-ground stem, it's better to cut off the remainder, and paint the stumps with SBK or glyphosphate concentrate. I would try the SBK first--it's less likely to be toxic to the bamboo.
