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