Why broad-leaved dock is a problem in Magherafelt
On Magherafelt properties, broad-leaved dock deep taproot survives cutting and each plant sheds tens of thousands of seeds that persist for decades in soil. In Magherafelt, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Moyola River and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Lough Beg and Sperrin foothills, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Maghera and Castledawson, are where we most often find established stands.
