Why burdock is a problem in Bishop Auckland
On Bishop Auckland properties, burdock deep taproot and burred seed heads that catch in livestock coats, fencing and machinery on paddocks and field margins. Bishop Auckland sits in County Durham, where river corridors, railway embankments and post-industrial ground give invasive weeds like Japanese knotweed plenty of disturbed soil to colonise. Older housing with long gardens and vacant plots around the town see regular outbreaks, and infestations commonly spread along watercourses and disused rail lines into neighbouring streets.
