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