Why broad-leaved dock is a problem in Dowlais
On Dowlais properties, broad-leaved dock deep taproot survives cutting and each plant sheds tens of thousands of seeds that persist for decades in soil. Dowlais sits on the northern edge of Merthyr Tydfil, where old ironworks land and tips have carried knotweed for decades.
