Why buddleia is a problem in Washington
On Washington properties, buddleia seeds into mortar joints, gutters, parapets and rail structures, where the woody root opens joints and causes real structural damage. Washington's former colliery workings and New Town infrastructure along the River Wear left disturbed, reclaimed land where Japanese knotweed has spread through the wetland nature reserve and old mining spoil sites nearby.
