Knotweed in Cork
In Cork, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Lee and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Fitzgerald Park and The Marina, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Douglas and Blackrock, are where we most often find established stands.
Cork sits within our Munster coverage, where the main local pressure is major rivers, harbour regeneration and woodland rhododendron.
