Why cotoneaster is a problem in Wantage
On Wantage properties, cotoneaster bird-sown seedlings root into walls, rockeries and chalk banks, and established bushes crowd out native ground flora. Around the market place and the Vale of White Horse, Wantage's mix of gardens, riverbanks, railway corridors and development plots gives invasive and persistent weeds plenty of disturbed ground to colonise, and infestations regularly cross property boundaries across Oxfordshire.
