Why brambles is a problem in Reading
On Reading properties, brambles arching stems root wherever they touch, quickly reclaiming gardens, car parks and vacant plots and hiding fly-tipped waste. Reading's confluence of the Thames and Kennet, together with old railway sidings near Reading station and disused brewery and biscuit factory sites, has left knotweed well established across the town.
