Knotweed in Ipswich
Ipswich's historic wet dock and the tidal River Orwell have long supported knotweed, which also spreads along former industrial land near the old maltings and the disused railway sidings that once served the port.
Ipswich sits within our Suffolk coverage, where the main local pressure is light sandy soils, river valleys and port brownfield fill.
