Cut’n’Paste Bamboo Buster Weed Gel 5L

Bamboo can be one of the most difficult weeds to eliminate, spreading rapidly through underground rhizomes that invade gardens, fences, buildings and surrounding landscapes. Cut’n’Paste Bamboo Buster Weed Gel 5L has been specially developed to provide precise, targeted control of bamboo and other vigorous woody weeds without the need for spraying.

Its thick brush-on gel stays where you apply it, allowing the active ingredient to move directly into the plant’s root system while reducing spray drift and helping protect nearby desirable plants.

Designed for Tough Bamboo and Woody Weeds

Bamboo spreads aggressively through underground rhizomes, making it one of the hardest weeds to eradicate.

Cut’n’Paste Bamboo Buster is specifically formulated to tackle bamboo while also controlling a wide range of difficult woody weeds and vigorous coppicing species.

The thick gel is applied directly onto freshly cut stems, stumps and exposed roots, allowing the glyphosate to be absorbed into the root system where it helps prevent regrowth.

Because it is applied only where needed, there is no overspray or unnecessary herbicide reaching surrounding plants.

Suitable for More Than Bamboo

Bamboo Buster also performs exceptionally well on many woody weeds including:

• Chinese Privet
• Tree Privet
• Willow
• Gorse
• Hawthorn
• Barberry
• Evergreen Buckthorn
• Woody shrubs
• Vigorous coppicing trees

Why Bamboo Buster is Different

Unlike traditional spray herbicides, Bamboo Buster uses a thick brush-on gel that stays exactly where it is applied.

Designed specifically for bamboo

• The formulation has been developed to tackle one of New Zealand’s toughest invasive weeds.

Targeted application

• Apply directly to freshly cut stems and exposed roots without spraying.

Helps protect surrounding plants

• The gel stays on the treated surface rather than drifting through the air, making it ideal around desirable vegetation.

Professional refill size

• The 5L container is perfect for contractors, landscapers, councils and larger weed control projects.

What to Expect

For best results:

• Cut bamboo close to ground level.
• Apply immediately while the cut surface is fresh.
• Cover the entire cut surface with a generous layer of gel.
• Treat exposed roots where practical.

The glyphosate moves into the underground rhizomes to help stop regrowth.

Some established bamboo species may require follow-up treatments due to extensive underground root systems.

How It Works

Simple 3-Step Application

1. Cut the bamboo or woody weed approximately 50mm above ground level using a clean, level cut.
2. Immediately apply Bamboo Buster Weed Gel across the entire cut surface and around the cambium layer.
3. Where exposed roots are visible, lightly scrape the surface and apply gel for improved uptake.

Allow the plant to absorb the glyphosate naturally into its root system.
