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