    Why American skunk cabbage is a problem in Dublin

    On Dublin properties, American skunk cabbage colonises wet woodland, pond margins and boggy ground, forming dense stands that shade out native wetland plants. In Dublin, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Liffey and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Phoenix Park and Grand Canal, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Ranelagh and Rathmines, are where we most often find established stands.
