Why buddleia is a problem in Chelmsford
On Chelmsford properties, buddleia seeds into mortar joints, gutters, parapets and rail structures, where the woody root opens joints and causes real structural damage. Japanese knotweed thrives along the River Chelmer and Chelmer & Blackwater Navigation, spreading from disused wharves and Victorian rail sidings near the station into gardens across the city's older suburbs.
