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