Why cherry laurel is a problem in Lancaster
On Lancaster properties, cherry laurel self-sows through woodland, hedgerows and large gardens, forming deep shade that kills ground flora. Lancaster's historic quayside on the River Lune and old canal basin have left disturbed riverside ground where Japanese knotweed spreads along the Lune's flood banks and former industrial wharves near the city centre.
