Why buddleia is a problem in Folkestone
On Folkestone properties, buddleia seeds into mortar joints, gutters, parapets and rail structures, where the woody root opens joints and causes real structural damage. Folkestone's clifftop harbour and former railway boat train sidings left disturbed ground along the Warren's unstable slopes, where Japanese knotweed has taken hold alongside the old harbour branch line.
