Knotweed in Cobh
In Cobh, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Cork Harbour and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Spike Island and St Colman's Cathedral, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Carrigtwohill and Midleton, are where we most often find established stands.
Cobh sits within our Munster coverage, where the main local pressure is major rivers, harbour regeneration and woodland rhododendron.
