Why broad-leaved dock is a problem in Alnwick
On Alnwick properties, broad-leaved dock deep taproot survives cutting and each plant sheds tens of thousands of seeds that persist for decades in soil. Alnwick sits in Northumberland, 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.
