Why cotoneaster is a problem in Chichester
On Chichester properties, cotoneaster bird-sown seedlings root into walls, rockeries and chalk banks, and established bushes crowd out native ground flora. Chichester's network of Roman-era canals and the River Lavant, which floods seasonally through the city, provide long-term knotweed habitat, alongside disturbed ground around the old canal basin at Chichester Marina.
