Why cotoneaster is a problem in Tamworth
On Tamworth properties, cotoneaster bird-sown seedlings root into walls, rockeries and chalk banks, and established bushes crowd out native ground flora. Tamworth lies at the confluence of the Rivers Tame and Anker, with old colliery spoil and railway embankments along the West Coast Main Line providing the disturbed, damp ground that Japanese knotweed favours around the historic castle grounds.
