    Why broad-leaved dock is a problem in Brighton

    On Brighton properties, broad-leaved dock deep taproot survives cutting and each plant sheds tens of thousands of seeds that persist for decades in soil. Brighton's steep chalk valleys and former railway cuttings, particularly around Preston Park and the old goods yards, have provided knotweed with sheltered disturbed ground, while the Wellesbourne stream channel beneath the city also supports growth.
