Why cherry laurel is a problem in Morpeth
On Morpeth properties, cherry laurel self-sows through woodland, hedgerows and large gardens, forming deep shade that kills ground flora. Morpeth sits in Northumberland, 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.
