Why cotoneaster is a problem in Seaford
On Seaford properties, cotoneaster bird-sown seedlings root into walls, rockeries and chalk banks, and established bushes crowd out native ground flora. Seaford's position near the mouth of the River Ouse and the historic Cuckmere Haven has left the surrounding water meadows prone to knotweed spread, aided further by old coastal defence works and disturbed shingle banks.
