Why cotoneaster is a problem in Castlebar
On Castlebar properties, cotoneaster bird-sown seedlings root into walls, rockeries and chalk banks, and established bushes crowd out native ground flora. In Castlebar, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Castlebar River and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Lough Lannagh and Turlough Park, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Turlough and Balla, are where we most often find established stands.
