Why buddleia is a problem in Sunderland
On Sunderland properties, buddleia seeds into mortar joints, gutters, parapets and rail structures, where the woody root opens joints and causes real structural damage. Sunderland's shipyards and coal staithes along the River Wear left disturbed, contaminated ground where Japanese knotweed has colonised former dockland and railway sidings, spreading along the riverside from Pallion to the coast.
