    Why buddleia is a problem in Oldham

    On Oldham properties, buddleia seeds into mortar joints, gutters, parapets and rail structures, where the woody root opens joints and causes real structural damage. Oldham's former cotton spinning mills and steep valley railway cuttings along the River Medlock have left disturbed slopes where knotweed has become firmly established across the town's hillside terraces.
