Knotweed in Galway
In Galway, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Corrib and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Salthill Promenade and Terryland Forest Park, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Oranmore and Moycullen, are where we most often find established stands.
Galway sits within our Connacht coverage, where the main local pressure is rural road verges, river catchments and coastal gunnera.
