Solutions to all Japanese Knotweed and Invasive Weed
Characteristics & Identification
Japanese Knotweed
Japanese Knotweed is recognised by the Environment Agency as the UK’s most invasive species. Its' aggressive growth causes extensive damage to buildings, foundations, and roads, resulting in costly delays to development projects.
Japanese knotweed is so problematic that it’s a criminal offence to plant it or cause it to grow in the wild.

Himalayan Balsam
The Himalayan Balsam plant has adapted successfully to UK conditions and now out-competes many native British plants, colonising whole watercourses. The plants leave watercourses vulnerable to erosion when river levels rise in winter, increasing incidences of flooding.

Giant Hogweed
Giant Hogweed Plants produce Sap that contains a toxic chemical that sensitises the skin and leads to severe blistering when exposed to sunlight. On contact with the skin the sap causes photo-dermatitis and can cause blindness from the chemical Furanocoumarin.

Aquatic Invasive
Most aquatic plants have one common characteristic; their rapid growth chokes out native plants and overwhelms watercourses to such an extent that it can be impossible to see the water.
Rhododendron

Common Ragwort (Senecio Jacobean) is a native plant that is highly invasive, and colonises wasteland, grass verges and fields.
