What To Do
Invasive Weed
Japanese Knotweed can be found anywhere – especially in water courses, roadways and railways. Treatment and eradication is essential.
Japanese Knotweed thrives next to buildings, fence lines and bounded areas. It takes very little to threaten the integrity of a site or structure. It can grow from as little as a single cane or, more typically, multiple canes. The root crown can even support Japanese Knotweed where there is no soil available. It can even survive within gas/electricity/drainage ducts.
