    Why cotoneaster is a problem in Antrim

    On Antrim properties, cotoneaster bird-sown seedlings root into walls, rockeries and chalk banks, and established bushes crowd out native ground flora. In Antrim, Japanese knotweed and Himalayan balsam spread along the Lough Neagh and its tributaries, where floods and riverbank works carry rhizome fragments downstream. Verges and green spaces around Sixmilewater and Antrim Castle Gardens, along with new housing on the edge of town towards Randalstown and Templepatrick, are where we most often find established stands.
