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