Why buddleia is a problem in Thatcham
On Thatcham properties, buddleia seeds into mortar joints, gutters, parapets and rail structures, where the woody root opens joints and causes real structural damage. Thatcham's location by the River Kennet and the Kennet and Avon Canal, along with disturbed reedbeds at Thatcham Moors, has given Japanese knotweed a strong presence throughout the town's wetter margins.
