Why buddleia is a problem in St Austell
On St Austell properties, buddleia seeds into mortar joints, gutters, parapets and rail structures, where the woody root opens joints and causes real structural damage. St Austell's china clay quarrying industry left vast disturbed spoil heaps and pit edges, known as the Cornish Alps, where knotweed has become deeply established across old mineral tramway routes.
