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