Why buddleia is a problem in Exeter
On Exeter properties, buddleia seeds into mortar joints, gutters, parapets and rail structures, where the woody root opens joints and causes real structural damage. Exeter's historic quayside along the River Exe and the Exeter Ship Canal towpaths provide disturbed alluvial ground where knotweed spreads readily, aided by former railway sidings near St David's station.
