    Why cherry laurel is a problem in Dunstable

    On Dunstable properties, cherry laurel self-sows through woodland, hedgerows and large gardens, forming deep shade that kills ground flora. Dunstable sits in Bedfordshire, 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.
