Why broad-leaved dock is a problem in Barrow-in-Furness
On Barrow-in-Furness properties, broad-leaved dock deep taproot survives cutting and each plant sheds tens of thousands of seeds that persist for decades in soil. Barrow-in-Furness sits in Cumbria, where river corridors, railway embankments and post-industrial ground give invasive weeds like Japanese knotweed plenty of disturbed soil to colonise. Older housing with long gardens and vacant plots around the town see regular outbreaks, and infestations commonly spread along watercourses and disused rail lines into neighbouring streets.
