Why knotweed spreads in Hertfordshire
The Colne, Lea and Ver corridors carry knotweed through Hertfordshire's commuter belt, and the county's new-town estates were built on made ground that hid rhizome from the original site surveys.
Main local pressure: Colne and Lea corridors plus new-town made ground.
