Why buddleia is a problem in Birkenhead
On Birkenhead properties, buddleia seeds into mortar joints, gutters, parapets and rail structures, where the woody root opens joints and causes real structural damage. Birkenhead's former shipbuilding yards and disused dock basins along the Mersey provide extensive derelict land where knotweed has colonised, spreading further via the Birkenhead Park railway embankments.
