Why cherry laurel is a problem in Guildford
On Guildford properties, cherry laurel self-sows through woodland, hedgerows and large gardens, forming deep shade that kills ground flora. Guildford's steep River Wey valley and the old Wey Navigation towpaths have provided disturbed, damp ground ideal for knotweed, with further spread along the Guildford-Waterloo railway cutting through the town.
