Why cotoneaster is a problem in Loughborough
On Loughborough properties, cotoneaster bird-sown seedlings root into walls, rockeries and chalk banks, and established bushes crowd out native ground flora. Loughborough sits in Leicestershire, 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.
