Why bindweed is a problem in Sherborne
On Sherborne properties, bindweed twines through hedges, fences and shrubs, and the deep white root system regenerates from fragments left in the soil. Sherborne's abbey grounds and the River Yeo's disturbed water meadows, together with the town's historic railway sidings, have allowed knotweed to spread into the wooded grounds of Sherborne Castle.
