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