Knotweed in Athlone
In Athlone, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Shannon and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Athlone Castle and Lough Ree, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Moate and Glasson, are where we most often find established stands.
Athlone sits within our Leinster coverage, where the main local pressure is canal banks, river valleys and commuter-belt development.
