Knotweed in Oxford
Japanese knotweed thrives along the River Thames and River Cherwell floodplains and the disused canal towpaths that cross the city, with dense colonies also found on former railway sidings near Botley and industrial land around Osney Mead.
Oxford sits within our Oxfordshire coverage, where the main local pressure is thames and cherwell floodplains and heavy conservation-area constraints.
