    Why cherry laurel is a problem in Southport

    On Southport properties, cherry laurel self-sows through woodland, hedgerows and large gardens, forming deep shade that kills ground flora. Around Lord Street and the pier, Southport's mix of gardens, riverbanks, railway corridors and development plots gives invasive and persistent weeds plenty of disturbed ground to colonise, and infestations regularly cross property boundaries across Lancashire.
