    Why cherry laurel is a problem in Larne

    On Larne properties, cherry laurel self-sows through woodland, hedgerows and large gardens, forming deep shade that kills ground flora. In Larne, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Larne Lough and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Chaine Tower and Antrim Coast Road, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Glenarm and Ballygally, are where we most often find established stands.
