Why cherry laurel is a problem in Stoke-on-Trent
On Stoke-on-Trent properties, cherry laurel self-sows through woodland, hedgerows and large gardens, forming deep shade that kills ground flora. Stoke-on-Trent's dense network of former pottery works, marl pits and railway sidings along the Trent and Mersey Canal has left disturbed, nutrient-poor ground where Japanese knotweed spreads readily, particularly along embankments near Etruria and the River Trent.
