Why American skunk cabbage is a problem in Kilkenny
On Kilkenny properties, American skunk cabbage colonises wet woodland, pond margins and boggy ground, forming dense stands that shade out native wetland plants. In Kilkenny, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the River Nore and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Kilkenny Castle and St Canice's Cathedral, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Thomastown and Callan, are where we most often find established stands.
